Abstract
Measurable degradation in the image quality of radial and spherical gradient lenses can be caused by what might seem to be excruciatingly small perturbations from ideal gradient-index profiles. These are controlled by a number of empirically determined fabrication parameters that include glass composition, salt melt composition, thermal history, applied electric field and multiple diffusion steps.
