1. A method for correcting at least one aberration in an optical system, comprising:
- providing a radiation adjustable layer to a component of the system;
determining the at least one aberration; and
applying radiation to the radiation adjustable layer such as to modify an optical characteristic of the radiation adjustable layer to at least partially compensate for the at least one aberration;
wherein the adjustable layer comprises a polymer matrix, and a radiation sensitive refraction modulating composition dispersed in the polymer matrix.

Abstract
A method of correcting aberrations in an optical system by applying a light adjustable aberration conjugator layer to a component of the system, determining the nature of the aberration, applying radiation to the conjugator layer such as to change the refraction and/or shape of the conjugator layer to compensate for the aberration, and locking in the desired optical property.
