14APX-1.5-160-2 30 mm Dia. UVFS Standard Plano-Concave Axicon; t=8 mm Uncoated

The 14APX-1.5-160-2 is a Plano-Concave Axicon prism, a specialized optical component designed for a variety of applications. This particular model has a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 8 mm at the edge, making it suitable for use in systems with specific spatial requirements.

The axicon's apex angle is 2.792526803190927 degrees, which is a crucial parameter in determining the focusing properties of the beam. This angle, combined with the concave shape, allows the axicon to transform a collimated beam into a divergent or convergent Bessel beam, depending on the setup.

The axicon is made from UVFS material with a catalog number of UVFS Mal-1965. This material is chosen for its specific optical properties, which can be critical in certain applications. The wavelength for this axicon is 633 nm.

Notably, this axicon is uncoated. While coatings can be used to enhance the performance of optical components in certain situations, an uncoated axicon can be advantageous in scenarios where the introduction of additional layers could interfere with the desired optical behavior.
