14APX-1-178-1 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Standard Plano-Convex Axicon; t=8 mm Uncoated

The 14APX-1-178-1 is a 25.4 mm diameter N-BK7 Standard Plano-Convex Axicon with a thickness of 8 mm, sourced from Standa. This axicon is uncoated, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where coating may not be necessary or desirable.

Axicons are specialized optical components with unique properties. They are characterized by their apex angle, which in this case is 3.1066860685499065 degrees. This specific apex angle, combined with the 25.4 mm diameter, contributes to the axicon's ability to convert a collimated beam into a Bessel beam, or vice versa. The convex shape of the axicon focuses the light, making it an ideal choice for various applications in fields such as beam shaping, laser machining, and material processing.

The N-BK7 material, a type of borosilicate glass, is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission in the visible spectrum and low autofluorescence. This makes the 14APX-1-178-1 particularly suitable for applications where high optical quality is required.
