130-0275 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Standard Plano-Convex Axicon; 8 mm Uncoated

The 130-0275 is a standard plano-convex axicon prism, manufactured by EKSMA Optics, featuring a 25.4 mm diameter and an 8 mm thickness at the edge and center. Axicons are unique optical components with a conical surface, designed to convert a collimated beam into a divergent or convergent hollow cone beam. This particular axicon has an apex angle of 3.0543261909900767 degrees, making it suitable for various applications.

The axicon is made of N-BK7 glass from Schott, a popular material for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The N-BK7 Schott glass ensures high transmission in the visible spectrum, particularly at the wavelength of 633 nm, which is a common choice for laser applications.

Notably, this axicon prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While coatings can improve transmission, reduce reflection, or protect the surface, an uncoated axicon can be advantageous in certain scenarios, such as when the user desires to minimize complexity or cost, or when the application does not require additional optical enhancements.
