AX2540-A 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Axicon Prism; 5 mm AR 350-700nm
The AX2540-A is a 25.4 mm diameter Axicon Prism from Thorlabs, designed with a plano-convex geometry and a 5 mm AR coating optimized for the 350-700nm wavelength range. This Axicon Prism is a specialized optical element with a unique shape that focuses light into a thin line, making it ideal for applications such as laser beam shaping, beam collimation, and beam expansion.
The prism's base shape is circular, and it features a convex surface with a 0.6981317007977318 alpha angle. The thickness of the prism at the edge is 5 mm, while the center thickness measures 15.7 mm. The material used for this prism is UVFS, which has a catalog number of MAL-1965.
The AX2540-A comes with an anti-reflection coating on the front surface, reducing losses and increasing transmission. This coating, identified as THo A BBAR, is specifically designed for the 350-700nm wavelength range.
