AX1220-C 12.7 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm AR 1050-1700nm

The AX1220-C is a specialized optical component, specifically an Axicon Prism, sourced from Thorlabs. This prism, with a diameter of 12.7 mm, is designed for use in the 1310 nm wavelength range. The prism's unique feature is its axicon shape, which is a type of circular prism characterized by its tapered profile and a small angle (alpha) of 0.3490658503988659 degrees.

The AX1220-C has a thickness of 5 mm at the edge and 7.3 mm at the center. This plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, contributes to its unique optical properties. The convex side of the prism is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (AR), specifically designed for the 1050-1700 nm wavelength range. This coating helps to minimize surface reflections, thereby improving transmission efficiency.

The material used in the construction of this axicon prism is UVFS, which is a type of optical glass. This material, identified by the catalog number MAL-1965, is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
