H-K9L Biconvex Lenses
Material: N-BK7 glass; Focal length range from 10mm to 1000mm;
Available sizes: Ø6mm, Ø9mm, Ø10mm, Ø1/2 inch (Ø12.7mm), Ø1 inch (Ø25.4mm), Ø20mm, Ø30mm, Ø40mm, and Ø2 inch;
Available uncoated or with three antireflective coatings: Uncoated: 350nm – 2.0 µm; A-coating: 350-700 nm; B-coating: 650-1100 nm; C-coating: 1050-1700 nm
Quartz Fused Biconvex Lenses
The UV fused silica biconvex lens exhibits high transmittance in the deep ultraviolet and produces virtually no laser-induced fluorescence (measurement wavelength 193nm), making it ideal for applications from ultraviolet to near-infrared. In addition, compared with N-BK7, UV-grade fused silica has better uniformity and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion.
Material: UV fused silica; Focal length range from 4mm to 1000mm;
Available sizes: Ø4mm, Ø5mm, Ø6mm, Ø6.3mm, Ø10mm, Ø15mm, Ø0.5 inch (Ø12.7mm), Ø16mm, Ø1 inch (Ø25.4mm), and Ø2 inch (Ø50mm);
Available uncoated or with four antireflective coatings: Uncoated: 185nm – 2.1 µm; UV coating: 250-450 nm; VIS coating: 350-700 nm; NIR coating: 650-1100 nm; SWIR coating: 1000 – 1650 nm.
Calcium Fluoride Caf2 Biconvex Lenses
Calcium fluoride has high transmittance in the ultraviolet to infrared band (0.12-10 μm).
Available sizes: Ø12.7mm, Ø25.4mm;
Available versions with or without antireflective coating: Uncoated: 0.12-10µm; IR1 coating: 3-5μm;
Zinc Selenide ZnSe Biconvex Lenses
Zinc selenide ZnSe glass exhibits high light transmittance in the 0.5-15μm range, with particularly low absorption at a wavelength of 10.6μm. Therefore, it is commonly used in the fabrication of infrared windows, radomes, and infrared optical components.
Available sizes: Ø12.7mm, Ø25.4mm;
Available versions with or without antireflective coating: Uncoated: 0.12-10µm; IR2 coating: 8-12μm;
