14APX-1.5-165-1 30 mm Dia. N-BK7 Standard Plano-Concave Axicon; t=8 mm Uncoated

The 14APX-1.5-165-1 is a 30 mm Dia. N-BK7 Standard Plano-Concave Axicon, featuring a thickness of 8 mm and uncoated surfaces. This axicon, sourced from Standa, is a specialized optical element with a unique geometry that finds extensive use in various applications, including beam shaping, laser beam collimation, and generating Bessel beams.

The axicon's base shape is circular, and its geometry includes a 30 mm diameter and an 8 mm thickness at the edge. The apex angle is 2.8797932657906435 degrees, which is crucial for determining the beam's characteristics after interaction with the axicon. The convexity of this axicon is concave, further distinguishing it from other optical components.

The material used for this axicon is N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for various optical components. The axicon is designed to operate at a wavelength of 633 nm.

The absence of any coating on this axicon implies that it has uncoated surfaces. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in specific applications, uncoated surfaces offer advantages such as lower cost and broader spectral response.
