14APX-1-165-2-P 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Precision Plano-Concave Axicon; t=3.5 mm Uncoated

The 14APX-1-165-2-P is a precision plano-concave axicon prism, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Standa. This optical element, with a circular base shape, is designed for use in a wide range of applications where precise beam shaping and manipulation are required.

The axicon prism has a diameter of 25.4 mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction. The thickness of the prism at the edge is 3.5 mm, offering a robust and stable platform for optical systems. The apex angle of the prism is 2.8797932657906435 degrees, which is crucial for determining the beam's angular dispersion. The concave geometry of the prism allows for the focusing of light, making it ideal for applications such as laser beam shaping and optical fiber coupling.

The material of the prism is UVFS, with the specific material ID being UVFS Mal-1965. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for use in a wide range of wavelengths. In this case, the prism is optimized for a wavelength of 633 nm.

Notably, this axicon prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical elements in certain applications, an uncoated prism can offer advantages such as lower cost, simplicity, and the ability to be used in a wider range of environments without the risk of coating damage.
