Optical glass Double-Convex Lenses
Optical glass used in a variety of visible and short-wave infrared applications, and its advantages over other similar glasses are mainly reflected in the following aspects: high performance, low cost, good material consistency, high homogeneity of refractive index, low stress birefringence, low bubbles and streakiness.
Optical glass double convex lens is a lens with two convex spherical surface that includes an incident surface and an emitting surface, characterized by a longer focal length at the middle of the lens surface and a shorter focal length at the end of each lens surface. It’s been widely applied for visible and short-wave infrared applications, such as optical systems for beam expansion, image formation, beam collimation, focus collimation, beam collimation point source, and other applications.
Our Company can provide optical glass double-convex 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.
