The 1-APX-2-D254 is a non-precision plano-convex axicon prism, featuring a circular base shape and a diameter of 25.4 mm. This axicon prism, sourced from Altechna, has a thickness edge of 3.5 mm and an apex angle of 2.792526803190927 degrees, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The convexity of the prism is designed to focus or collimate light beams, with the apex angle determining the angle of divergence or convergence.
The material used in the construction of this axicon prism is UVFS Mal-1965, a material specifically designed for use in the 632.8 nm wavelength range. This makes the 1-APX-2-D254 ideal for use in applications that require precise manipulation of light in this wavelength range.
The prism is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where the addition of a coating could introduce unwanted distortions or reflections.
