Optical Lenses

Optical Lenses are optical components designed to focus or diverge light. Optical Lenses, which may consist of a single or multiple elements, are used in a wide variety of applications from microscopy to laser processing. Many industries utilize Optical Lenses, including life sciences, imaging, industrial, or defense. As light passes through a lens, it is affected by the lens' profile or substrate. A Plano-Convex (PCX) or Double-Convex (DCX) lens causes light to focus to a point, while a Plano-Concave (PCV) or Double-Concave (DCV) lens causes the light traveling through the lens to diverge. Achromatic Lenses are ideal for applications requiring color correction, while Aspheric Lenses are designed to correct spherical aberration. Germanium (Ge), Silicon (Si), or Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) lenses are ideal for transmitting the Infrared (IR) spectrum, while Fused Silica is well suited for the Ultraviolet (UV).

Jinan Honhaioffers the world's largest inventory of off-the-shelf optical components, which includes an extensive selection of stock optical lenses such as Achromatic Lenses or Aspheric Lenses. Many of Edmund Optics' lenses are offered with a variety of coating options for the Ultraviolet (UV), visible, or Infrared (IR) spectrums.

Broadband UV-Visible Antireflection Coating

Our AR.15 broadband multilayer antireflection coating markedly improves the transmission efficiency of these lenses by reducing surface reflections over a 225-675 nm wavelength range. This coating enables use with any or all of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonic Nd:YAG wavelengths, or for use in UV fluorescence imaging applications.

Greater than 90% transmission from 345-700 nm

These achromatic lenses offer high transmission and near diffraction limited performance from 345-700 nm.
