Lenses
- Biconvex
Symmetrical elements with positive focal lengths.
- Plano-Convex
One spherical and one flat surface, for simple imaging in non-critical applications.
- Achromatic
Doublets consisting of one crown and one flint element cemented together, minimize chromatic aberrations.
- Cylindrical
Focus light to a line that lies parallel to the cylindrical axis. Sometimes used to correct astigmatism.
- Aspherical
Provides maximum energy throughput over a limited path length. Not for imaging, they are ideal for collecting and/or focusing as much light as possible.
- Bestform Laser Quality
Asymmetrical biconvex lenses minimize spherical aberration.
- Industrial Laser Quality
Plano-convex lenses are replacement elements for industrial Nd:YAG lasers that operate at 1.06 µm.
