The 14APX-1-170-2 is a 25.4 mm diameter Plano-Concave Axicon prism, sourced from the reputable vendor Standa. This optical component is part of their extensive catalog, specifically designed for applications requiring precise beam shaping and manipulation.
The Axicon prism, also known as a conical lens, is characterized by its unique geometry. The base shape is circular, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, and it features a concave surface. The apex angle is 2.9670597283903604 degrees, which is crucial for determining the beam shaping capabilities of the prism. The thickness of the prism at the edge is 8 mm, providing sufficient structural integrity for most applications.
The material used for this Axicon prism is UVFS Mal-1965. This material is specifically designed for optical applications, ensuring high transparency and minimal distortion. The wavelength for this prism is 633 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible light spectrum.
Notably, this Axicon prism is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated prism can be advantageous in situations where minimal reflection or dispersion is required.
