Plano-Convex Spherical Lenses

He Rui Optics' Plano-convex lenses can focus a collimated beam or collimate light from a point source. To minimize the introduction of spherical aberration, a collimated light source should be incident on the curved surface of the lens when being focused and a point light source should be incident on the planar surface when being collimated.Plano-convex lenses can focus a collimated beam or collimate light from a point source.

He Rui Optics' N-BK7 plano-convex lenses are available uncoated or with a variety of antireflection coatings. Standard lenses feature a 40-20 scratch-dig surface quality, and economy versions are available with a 60-40 scratch-dig surface quality for less demanding applications. N-BK7 is an excellent lens material for most visible and NIR applications. N-BK-7 provides great performance at a good value with its high homogeneity, low bubble and inclusion content, and straightforward manufacturability

He Rui Optics' UV Fused Silica plano-convex lenses are available uncoated or with a variety of antireflection coatings. UVFS is synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide of extremely high purity providing maximum transmission from 195-2100 nm. This non-crystalline, colorless silica glass combines a very low thermal expansion coefficient with good optical qualities, and excellent transmittance in the ultraviolet region. Transmission and homogeneity exceed those of crystalline quartz without the problems of orientation and temperature instability inherent in the crystalline form. It will not fluoresce under UV light and is resistant to radiation

He Rui Optics' Calcium Fluoride lenses provide high average transmission and low chromatic aberration for wavelengths between 180-8,000 nm and are also suitable for near-IR femtosecond pulse applications.
