Optical K9 Quartz Sapphire Glass Plano Convex Spherical Lens with Coating

Spherical lenses are lenses with at least one curved surface. They converge or scatter light, change the path of light and affect the wavefront curvature of light.It is widely used in medical imaging, laser optics, security monitoring, automotive industry, military industry, aerospace and other high-tech fields.They are important optical elements to improve the signal coupling between optical fiber, transmitter and detector.

What is a plano convex lens?

Plano-convex lenses is positive focal length elements that have one spherical surface and one flat surface. These lenses are designed for infinite conjugate (parallel light) use or simple imaging in non-critical applications. These optic lenses are ideal for all-purpose focusing elements. PCX Lenses have one convex surface. For maximum efficiency, the second, plano (flat) surface should face the desired focal plane.

How convex lens work?

Plano-convex lenses are used for applying focus to an optical system, and collimating diverging light beams. Low spherical aberration is obtained if the lens is orientated in a way that causes the collimated beam to enter or exit the curved surface, thereby making the plano side face towards the point source or focus.

Plano-Convex lenses Application

Plano-Convex Lens usually for light collimation or for focusing applications utilizing monochromatic illumination, in a range of industries including industrial, pharmaceutical, robotics, or defense etc.
