Meniscus lens is a lens that has two curved spherical surfaces, one convex and the other concave. Around the middle, the meniscus lens is thicker than at the sides. Thus, with a rising beam waist and spherical aberration, the lens has a smaller beam diameter. When a meniscus lens is paired with another lens it shortens the focal length and increases the system's numerical aperture. This decreases the distortion of the image and increases the resolution of the image.

A special type of thick biconvex optical lens is a Ball lenses that usually has a sphere geometric shape. These are made of a single material such as BK7 or other optical glass/Fused Silica/CaF2 which is a commonly used material for ball lenses. The smallest lens we produced is < 0.5 mm. We can process ball lenses using all types of glass material. Our price for PV industry may be as low as USD0.02/pcs. We are developing CSD-based AR-coating to provide a low-cost PV-coating solution.

Our precision Rhomboid Prisms feature a parallelogram geometry designed to alter an optical path without changing beam direction. These high-quality optical prisms are engineered to displace a laser beam laterally while maintaining its original alignment. Ideal for precision imaging systems, they shift the optical axis without inverting or reverting the image. Tight angular tolerances guarantee that the output beam remains perfectly parallel to the input beam within 30 arcseconds. Key Features:
- High-precision lateral beam displacement.
- Parallel input/output alignment within 30 arcseconds.
- Shifts the optical axis without image inversion.
- Optimized for demanding beam steering and displacement applications.
