AX1220-A 12.7 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm AR 350-700nm
The AX1220-A 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 350-700nm wavelength range. This Axicon Prism is a specialized optical element with a unique design that can be utilized for various applications, particularly in beam shaping and laser beam collimation.
The prism's base shape is circular, and it features a convex surface with a 0.3490658503988659 alpha angle. The thickness at the edge is 5 mm, while the center thickness measures 7.3 mm. The UVFS material (UV Fused Silica) offers excellent transparency and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it suitable for use in environments with varying temperatures.
The AX1220-A's coating is a broadband anti-reflection (AR) coating, specifically designed for the 350-700nm wavelength range. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby enhancing the prism's overall transmission efficiency. The coating is applied to the front surface of the prism.
