Optical Technology

  • 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.

    What Is a Cylindrical Lens?

    A cylindrical lens focuses light into a straight line. Its surface is shaped from a cylinder, compressing images perpendicular to the axis and maintaining clarity parallel to it. These lenses are critical for correcting astigmatism, as well as precision tasks in spectroscopy, laser scanning, image projection, and advanced imaging systems.

  • All sides of an Equilateral Prism are the same length. This also implies that they have three 60-degree angles. They are beneficial in wavelength separation applications. They are also often used to refract light. This refraction demonstrates that white light is a blend of all the colours in the spectrum.
  • Fused Silica Windows are an excellent choice for high-precision, clear transmittance applications. They have low bulk scatter and autofluorescence, as well as incredibly high surface quality and parallelism. Many sectors use fused silica windows, including aircraft, astronomy, military and commercial avionics, medical and scientific instruments, academics and research, and industrial uses. They're an excellent choice for laser applications, spectroscopy, photolithography, vacuum windows, and a variety of other uses.  Discover premium Fused Silica Windows from z optics . 0.1 angstrom roughness can be achieved with super polishing.
  • The hemispheres of the Half-ball lens have uniform light dispersion and are commonly used in high power LED and UV LED, focusing and coupling light. It has many advantages over silicone lens and plastic lens. Our half-ball lenses are made from BK7, B270, Fused Silica, Sapphire, and more. We can also deliver custom Half-Ball lenses and alternative materials in a range of diameters.

  • The Rhomboid Prism is a parallelogram with uneven length neighbouring sides and non-right angled angles. Rhomboid prisms are frequently used to dispense a laser beam while maintaining its direction. Rhomboid prisms will shift the optical axis in imaging applications without inverting the picture. They have high tolerance angles, which ensure that the output beam is parallel to the input beam within 30 arcseconds. Features - 1. Lateral Beam Displacement. 2. Parallel Input and Output Beams to 30 Arcseconds. 3. Repositions the optical axis without inverting the image. 4. Exceptionally well-suited for severe displacement applications.
