Laser-Line UV Fused Silica Plano-Concave Lenses — GLH23-V Series
From $208 USD
Request a quoteProduct description
UV fused silica plano-concave lenses have one flat and one concave surface and a negative focal length. They turn collimated incident light into a diverging beam with a virtual focus and are commonly used in Galilean beam expanders. Orient the concave surface toward the incident beam, with the plane surface toward the focal plane.
Plano-concave lenses provide negative spherical aberration and can compensate aberrations from other lenses in an optical system. For source-recommended conjugate magnitudes below 0.2 or above 5, plano-concave lenses are generally selected; double-concave lenses are often used between these values.
Available coatings: Laser-line V antireflection coating; Ravg<0.25 at 532nm; Laser-line V antireflection coating; Ravg<0.25 at 1064nm.
Schematic
Dimensions in mm unless otherwise stated.
UV fused silica provides transmission from 185 nm to 2.1 μm, with low thermal expansion, high homogeneity, chemical resistance and low fluorescence.
Laser-line V coatings are designed for 532 nm and 1064 nm high-power lasers. Damage thresholds are 6.8 J/cm² at 532 nm and 20 J/cm² at 1064 nm, both specified for 20 ns pulses at 0° incidence; select the matching coating and per-model threshold.
V coatings minimize reflection within a narrow wavelength band and are intended for the specified incidence range. The reflectance curves retain their original percentage axes; the per-model Ravg value follows the source specification, which omits its unit.
