Ultrafast Thin Plano-Convex (PCX) Lenses

×
  • Ultra-Thin Center Thickness to Limit GDD
  • Low Loss Broadband IBS Anti-Reflection Coating
  • Ideal for Ultrafast and Laser Optics Applications
  • UV or IR Grade Fused Silica Substrates

TECHSPEC® Ultrafast Thin Plano-Convex Lenses are designed with an ultra-thin center thickness to provide a low group delay dispersion (GDD) for ultrafast laser pulses.TECHSPEC Ultrafast Thin Plano-Convex Lenses are ideal for collecting and focusing light from laser sources and their corresponding harmonics, including Ti:sapphire, Yb:YAG, and Nd:YAG, Holmium, and Thulium lasers. These thin PCX lenses are available in standard sizes with effective focal lengths from 50mm to 2000mm.

IR grade fused silica differs from UV grade fused silica by its reduced amount of OH- ions, resulting in higher transmission throughout the NIR spectrum and reduction of transmission in the UV spectrum.
