UV Fused Silica Plano Convex Lens
- Plano-Convex lens has positive focal length.
- PCX lens can converge light to form real image.
- Suitable for infinte or near infinte conjugate imaging application.
- UV Fused Silica offers high transmission in UV region.
- UV Fused Silica exhibits low laser-induced fluorescence.
- Fused silica has high bulk damage threshold and lower thermal coefficient compared to N-BK7.
Application Notes
- PCX for Beam Focusing : PCX is used with collimated beam (infinite conjugates) to focus it on other side. Placing curved surface towards collimated beam reduces spherical aberration. This minimizes focused spot size.
- PCX for Beam Collimation : PCX lens when placed at back focal length from point light source renders the beam collimated. Keep the plane surface towards the point object for minimal plane wavefront aberration.
- PCX as Condensor : Combination of two lenses with both the curvatures towards each other, are used as condensors. Both the lenses may have same or different focal lengths, depending on the f/# of input and output beam.
