AX121-B 12.7 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm AR 650-1050nm
The AX121-B is a 12.7 mm diameter Axicon Prism from Thorlabs, designed with a plano-convex geometry and a 5 mm AR coating optimized for the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This Axicon Prism is part of the UVFS material family, specifically identified as UVFS mal-1965.
The prism features a base shape of a circle with a thickness of 5 mm at the edge and 5.1 mm at the center. The Axicon's small apex angle of approximately 1° (0.017453292519943295 radians) allows for the creation of a narrow, intense beam of light when used with a laser source. This makes the AX121-B an ideal component for various applications, such as laser beam collimation, beam shaping, or beam homogenization.
The front surface of the AX121-B is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (AR), specifically designed for the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, improves transmission, and minimizes scattering, contributing to enhanced overall system performance.
