Generation

Chromatic aberration occurs because light of different colors (wavelengths) bends by different amounts when passing through a lens—blue light refracts more than red light. This causes the various colors to focus at slightly different points, creating colored fringes around objects in an image, particularly noticeable at high-contrast edges. The effect happens because the refractive index of glass (or any transparent material) varies with wavelength, a phenomenon called dispersion. Photographers and optical engineers minimize chromatic aberration using special lens combinations or coatings that bring different wavelengths to a common focus.
