The BICC-25.4-77.6-UV is a high-quality spherical lens, specifically designed for use in laser applications. This lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a center thickness of 2 mm, making it a compact yet robust optical component.
The lens features a concave-concave geometry, with radii of curvature R1 and R2 measured at -77.6 mm and 77.6 mm respectively. This unique geometry allows for precise control over the light path, making it ideal for applications that require tight beam focusing or collimation. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is -75 mm, further enhancing its beam manipulation capabilities.
The lens is crafted from UVFS, a material with a high refractive index and excellent transparency in the ultraviolet spectrum. This makes it particularly suitable for use in UV laser applications, where high transmission and precise refraction are critical. The material ID for this lens is MAL-1965.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a natural surface finish is preferred, or where the introduction of a coating could potentially introduce unwanted scatter or absorption.
The lens is currently in stock and available for immediate dispatch. Further information, including a comprehensive datasheet, can be found at https://www.idexot.com/media/wysiwyg/cms-pages/pdf/2-Spherical_Lenses.pdf.
