PLANO-CONVEX (PCX) LENSES
Plano-Convex lenses feature a positive focal length and have one flat and one convex surface. They should be
oriented with the plano surface towards the desired focal plane. They are ideal for collimation and focusing applications
utilizing monochromatic illumination.
DOUBLE-CONVEX (DCX) LENSES
Double-Convex lenses feature a positive focal length and have 2 convex surfaces with equal radii. They are recommended
for image relay, and for imaging of objects at close conjugates. Aberrations will increase as the conjugate
ratios increase.

PLANO-CONCAVE (PCV) AND DOUBLE-CONCAVE (DCV) LENSES
Concave lenses feature a negative focal length and have either 2 concave surfaces with equal radii (DCV), or 1 flat
and one concave surface (PCV). They are recommended for beam expansion, light projection, and expanding the
focal length of an optical system.

ACHROMATIC DOUBLET LENSES
Achromatic lenses consist of 2 optical components cemented together to reduce or eliminate spherical and chromatic
aberration. Achromatic lenses will provide smaller spot sizes and superior image quality than a comparable
singlet lens. Our achromatic lenses are available in the UV, VIS, and IR spectra.

ASPHERIC LENSES
Aspheric Lenses feature one surface whose radius changes with distance from the optical axis. This unique feature
allows aspheric lenses to eliminate spherical aberration and greatly reduce other aberrations when compared to a simple
spherical lens, delivering improved optical performance. Our aspheres are available in the UV, VIS, and IR spectra.
