TECHSPEC® YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses correct on-axis spherical and chromatic aberrations

Excellent broadband transmission from 500 – 1100 nm

1/25/2016, Barrington, NJ USA   —

Edmund Optics (EO), the premier provider of optical components, introduces new TECHSPEC® YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses. These versatile lenses consist of two optical components cemented together to form a doublet and provide a low-cost alternative to air-spaced focusing doublets. They are an ideal tool to correct on-axis spherical and chromatic aberrations.

High transmission and low reflection

TECHSPEC YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses feature a broadband anti-reflective (BBAR) coating with maximum transmission from 500 – 1100 mm. With a surface quality of 40-20, the lenses are optimized for less than 0.25% absolute reflectivity at 532 nm and 1064 nm.

Ideal for focusing Nd: YAG lasers

TECHSPEC YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses are specifically designed to minimize the spot size of polychromatic illumination inside the usable wavelength range, 500 – 1100 nm. They are also ideal for use when focusing Nd: YAG lasers, particularly when the system uses an alignment beam.

Twelve models with focal lengths from 12.5 to 200 mm

TECHSPEC YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses are available in twelve models, with diameters from 6.25 mm to 25 mm, and focal lengths from 12.5 mm to 200 mm. The RoHS-compliant lenses are manufactured using an N-BK7/N-SF5 substrate. TECHSPEC YAG-BBAR Coated Achromatic Lenses are in-stock and available for immediate delivery for fast turnaround and excellent value.
