Lenses

Plano-Convex- PCX Lenses have a positive focal length, making them ideal for collecting and focusing light in imaging applications. They are also useful in a variety of applications involving emitters, detectors, lasers, and fiber optics. Coated versions have optimum light transmission. Can be Supplied  in a wide variety of diameters and focal lengths.

These lenses are available with a variety of anti-reflection coating options including: VIS-NIR, MgF2

Plano-Convex (PCX) Lenses( Silicon) : Silicon is a popular NIR material for the 1.2 to 7μm region due to its low cost and low density. Because of its low density (half that of Germanium or Zinc Selenide), Silicon is ideal for weight-sensitive applications, especially those in the 3 -5μm region. Density is 2.33 g/cm³ and Knoop Hardness is 1150, making it harder and less brittle than Germanium

Biconvex Lens

Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses have two outward curved surfaces, a positive focal length and are useful for 1:1 imaging and in multi-element systems.

These lenses are available uncoated or with other Anti-Reflection coating options including: VIS-NIR, MgF2,

Plano-Concave: (PCV) lenses have one flat and one inward curved surface. PCV lenses have a negative focal length and are used for image reduction or to spread light. All dimensions are in mm.

Biconcave Lens : Double-Concave  Lenses have two inward curved surfaces and a negative focal length. They are used for image reduction and to spread light. All dimensions are in mm.

Achromatic Lenses: The classic structure of a doublet combines a positively powered crown element with a negatively powered flint element. They deliver high performance when the application involves small fields of view, typically up to 6 degrees. Their image quality surpasses that of singlets.

Triplet Lens: Typically a symmetrical optics design, these lenses are excellent when used at 1 to 1 magnification and have a wider field of view than cemented doublets
