There is no such thing as a «photon object» in POV-Ray. The only photons
that I know of are those used for forward tracing. Those can be
saved/exported as a photon map in a file.
The file contain a list of 3D locations and colours for individual photons.
I don't know anything about it's internal format.

POV-Ray use RGB definitions for the colours, not spectral data.

Enable photon mapping in the glabal_settings block :
photons{ spacing AverageSpaceBetweenPhotons // or count PhotonsToShoot
}
For your lens :
Make it transparent : pigment{rgbt 1}
Give it an IOR and enable spectral dispersion :
interior{ ior Material_IOR dispersion Material_Dispersion
dispersion_samples Sample_Count}
Make that object a target for the photons :
photons{ target }
You don't need to add anything to the light_source used.
Finally, place a white plane to receive the photons and make them visible.
This will get you the end location of the photons.
If you want to see the 3D path, you need to use some media to make the
paths visible.
