Abstract
Based on a Fourier-optical analysis of the transformation of ultrashort light pulses by lenses it is shown that the drastic increase in pulse duration in the focal plane of a circular lens can be avoided using proper chosen annular apertures. In this case the spatial distribution in the focal plane is the same as it would be expected for monochromatic light.
