An optical defect whereby light rays of different wavelengths are focused at different points along the optical axis of a lens. Because the refractive index of glass is a function of wavelength, shorter-wavelength light is refracted (deflected) to a greater extent than longer-wavelength light. Consequently, shorter-wavelength light (for example, blue light) is brought to a focus closer to the len...
