The c1-APX-2-NIR-C254 is a Non-Precision Plano-Convex Axicon Prism, a specialized optical component sourced from Altechna. This axicon prism, with a catalog number c1-APX-2-NIR-C254, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) region of the spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 632.8 nm.
The prism has a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 25.4 mm. The thickness of the prism at the edge is 3.5 mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a manageable size. The apex angle of this axicon prism is 2.443460952792061 degrees, a crucial specification that determines the prism's optical properties.
The convexity of the prism is on the output side, meaning it is designed to focus or collimate light. The material used for this prism is UVFS, specifically identified as UVFS Mal- 1965 in the item data. This material is well-suited for applications in the NIR region.
Notably, this prism is uncoated, meaning 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.
