Fused Silica(UVFS) Plano-Concave Lenses

Fused silica is the amorphous (glassy) state of silicon oxide (quartz, silica). It is a typical glass with a long-range disordered atomic structure. It provides its high service temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion by cross-linking its three-dimensional structure

Fused silica plano-concave lens is composed of a flat surface and a concave spherical surface, which can produce negative spherical aberration and is often used in systems where the light is expanded or the focal length is increased to balance the deviation of other lenses. It’s been widely used in optical systems, such as laser systems, spectrometers, optical communications, etc. It can be used to regulate the focusing and collimation of the beam, improve the imaging quality and measurement accuracy of the optical system.

Our Company can provide fused silica plano-concave Lenses with diameters from 2-300mm and thicknesses from 0.12-60mm (accuracy up to 20-10, 1/10L@633nm),coating AR, BBAR, AF or upon request.

Material properties of fused silica

Transmission curve

Fused silica is commonly used in applications ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), and its high transmittance, good heat resistance, and excellent environmental durability make it suitable for use in laser equipment, emission and detection protection equipment, and imaging systems in the ultraviolet spectrum.
