AX2510-C 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm AR 1050-1700nm

The AX2510-C is a 25.4 mm diameter Axicon Prism, part of the extensive catalog of optical elements offered by Thorlabs. This Axicon Prism is a specialized optical component with a unique geometry that finds application in various fields, including laser beam shaping and focusing.

The prism's base shape is circular, and it features a plano-convex design, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved. The convex side has an alpha angle of 0.17453292519943295 radians, or approximately 10 degrees, which is a crucial parameter in determining the prism's optical properties. The thickness of the prism at the edge is 5 mm, while at the center, it measures 7.2 mm.

The Axicon Prism is made from UVFS, a material with the catalog number MAL-1965. This material is specifically chosen for its optical properties, which make it suitable for use in the 1310 nm wavelength range.

The prism comes with an anti-reflective (AR) coating on the front surface. This coating, identified as THo C Bbar, is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the 1050-1700 nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the prism's performance in its intended application.
