UV Fused Silica Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses

UV Fused Silica Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses

UV Fused Silica Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses Any of our lenses with a diameter of 5mm or greater can be specified with blackened edges. To specify the blackening, simply append a –INK to the BBAR coated stock number.

  • Ideal for Imaging Applications
  • Minimize Aberrations Including Spherical and Coma
  • Precision Fused Silica Substrate

TECHSPEC® UV Fused Silica Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses, also referred to as bi-convex lenses, have two positive, symmetrical faces with equal radii on both sides. These lenses are generally recommended for finite imaging applications with a conjugate ratio (ratio between object distance and image distance) between 0.2 and 5. At a conjugate ratio of 1, aberrations such as spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, coma, and distortion are minimized or canceled due to the symmetric lens design. TECHSPEC® UV Fused Silica Double-Convex (DCX) Lenses have a precision fused silica substrate. These lenses are available uncoated or with UV-AR, UV-VIS, VIS-EXT, VIS-NIR, VIS 0°, NIR I, or NIR II coatings.
