AX251 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm Uncoated
The AX251 is a specialized optical component from Thorlabs, designed as a Plano-Convex Axicon Prism with a 25.4 mm diameter and a 5 mm thickness. This Axicon Prism is made from UVFS material, specifically UVFS Mal-1965, and is uncoated.
The Axicon Prism is a unique optical element with a conical surface, designed to focus light into a thin line or a ring, depending on the angle of incidence. This makes it an ideal choice for various applications, including laser beam shaping, beam collimation, and beam homogenization.
The AX251 has an alpha angle of 0.017453292519943295 radians, which is approximately 1 degree, and a convexity of "Convex". The thickness at the edge of the prism is 5 mm, while the thickness at the center is slightly more at 5.2 mm.
This Axicon Prism is designed to work with a wavelength of 532 nm, making it suitable for use with green lasers. The uncoated version of the AX251 is ideal for applications where the user wants to control the reflection and transmission properties of the prism themselves.
