The AX252-C is a high-quality Axicon Prism from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This prism, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where beam shaping and focusing are required.
The prism is made from UVFS, a material with a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for use in laser applications. The plano-convex geometry of the prism, with a thickness of 5 mm at the edge and 5.4 mm at the center, ensures efficient light transmission and minimal loss.
The AX252-C features a 0.03490658503988659 alpha angle, which is crucial for determining the beam's divergence angle. The convex side of the prism is faced up, allowing for easy integration into optical systems.
This prism comes with an anti-reflective coating (AR) on the front surface, designed for use in the 1050-1700nm wavelength range. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the prism.
In terms of availability, the AX252-C is currently in stock, according to Thorlabs' website. For more information, including detailed specifications and purchasing options, please refer to the provided weblink.
