AX252 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm Uncoated
The AX252 is a specialized optical component, specifically a Plano-Convex Axicon Prism, sourced from Thorlabs. This Axicon Prism is characterized by its circular base shape and a unique geometry that sets it apart from conventional prisms.
The prism has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness of 5 mm at the edge, which increases slightly to 5.4 mm at the center due to its convex shape. The axicon angle (alpha) is 0.03490658503988659 radians, a critical parameter that determines the angle at which the light is refracted.
The Axicon Prism is made from UVFS material, identified by the catalog number MAL-1965. This material is well-suited for applications involving ultraviolet light, as suggested by its name. The prism is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance or alter its optical properties.
The prism is designed to operate at a wavelength of 532 nm. This wavelength falls within the green visible light spectrum, suggesting potential applications in fields like laser technology, spectroscopy, and imaging.
