Plano-convex Lenses
Plano-convex
lenses are often used to introduce power into an optical system.
When used with the curved surface towards a distant object they are close
to the best form for minimization of spherical aberration.
They are therefore ideal for focusing an infinite source.
They
are supplied either uncoated or with a single layer anti-reflection coating
suitable for the ultra-violet (200-350 nm), the visible (350 - 600 nm) or the
near infra-red (600 – 1200 nm).
A
wide range of focal lengths and diameters are available (see datasheet for
common sizes and focal lengths).
Please ask for sizes and focal lengths required as we can supply a wide
selection of these lenses.
