130-0270 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Standard Plano-Convex Axicon; 8 mm Uncoated

The 130-0270 is a standard Plano-Convex Axicon prism, sourced from EKSMA Optics, featuring a 25.4 mm diameter and an 8 mm uncoated edge thickness. This axicon is designed with a specific apex angle of 2.9670597283903604 degrees, providing a high level of precision for various optical applications.

The prism is fabricated using N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The N-BK7 Schott glass, with a refractive index of 1.5168 at 633 nm, ensures reliable and consistent performance across a wide range of wavelengths.

The axicon's geometry includes a convex surface, which focuses light to a line rather than a point, as would be the case with a traditional lens. This unique characteristic makes axicons particularly useful in applications such as laser beam shaping, beam homogenization, and generating Bessel beams.

The uncoated nature of this axicon implies that it does not have any additional anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance performance in specific scenarios, an uncoated axicon provides a cost-effective solution for many applications.
