Precision Fused Silica Plano-Concave Single Optical Lens
Felix Glass plano-concave single lens is manufactured from high-purity synthetic fused silica (fused quartz glass), a high-performance optical substrate with ultra-wide transmission covering deep ultraviolet to near-infrared band. The lens adopts plano-concave single-element structure: one flat plane surface, one concave curved surface, presenting negative focal length optical characteristic, which is specially used for laser beam expansion, beam divergence and chromatic aberration matching optical paths.
Ultra-precision CNC grinding and polishing guarantee high surface figure accuracy and ultra-low surface roughness. Fused silica features extremely low thermal expansion coefficient, stable optical performance under high-power UV laser irradiation, and excellent high temperature resistance, no deformation or light absorption drift under continuous industrial laser operation. Custom wavelength-matched AR anti-reflection coating can be deposited on both surfaces to reduce surface reflection loss and improve UV/IR light throughput.
