K9 Negative Meniscus Lenses — GLA16 Series
From $31 USD
Request a quoteProduct description
GLA16 negative meniscus lenses are made from Fine-annealed H-K9L optical glass and combine one convex surface with one concave surface. They are thinner at the center than at the edge, diverge light, and are designed to reduce spherical aberration.
Negative meniscus lenses are commonly used in beam expanders. Combined with other lenses they can increase focal length and reduce numerical aperture.
The two source radii R1 and R2 are listed separately; verify their surface assignment in the model drawing.
Schematic
Dimensions in mm unless otherwise stated.
Available per-model coatings: Uncoated; A-band antireflection coating; average reflectance <0.5% over 350–700nm; B-band antireflection coating; average reflectance <0.5% over 650-1100nm; C-band antireflection coating; average reflectance <0.5% over 1050-1700nm.
The model table lists fine-annealed H-K9L optical glass. Source descriptive text and the uncoated reference chart use N-BK7 terminology; confirm the curve and refractive-index applicability to the selected H-K9L model.
Antireflection coatings reduce surface reflections and ghost images. Fixed lens mounts, including mounts with SM05, SM1 or SM2 threads, are separate components; check clearance for high-curvature lenses.
General specifications
General specifications apply at series level. R1 and R2 retain the positive source convention even for negative-focus models; no surface sign is inferred. Optical power values retain the source values; the source field does not specify a unit. Model drawings take precedence for precision design.
