Distortion of femtosecond pulses due to chromatic aberration in lenses

We study the pulse propagation through the singlet lens, by solving the diffraction integrals. Several peculiar features around the focal plane are shown, which the geometrical optics approximation cannot predict. Two conceptually different types of time distorsion are clearly distinguished: the gro...
