The Need for the Right Lens

Selecting the perfect lens for your application is more than a choice—it's a necessity. Different lenses have different roles, and at American Photonics, we are well-versed in these diverse needs. Our range is vast, accommodating various applications from research and industrial use to creative projects.

Exploring Lens Types and Applications

Spherical Singlet Lenses:

• Plano-Convex and Best Form Lenses: Ideal for focusing collimated beams or collimating point sources. Optimal for applications where spherical aberrations are less critical.
• Bi-Convex Lenses: Best suited for relay imaging or focusing divergent beams, especially when the conjugate ratio ranges between 0.2X - 5X.
• Plano-Concave and Bi-Concave Lenses: Perfect for diverging collimated beams or collimating convergent beams, used in applications requiring light dispersion.

Achromatic Lenses:

• Cemented Achromatic Doublets/Triplets: Superb for broadband focusing and collimation, effectively correcting chromatic aberrations. Ideal for enhanced monochromatic performance.
• Air-Spaced Doublets: Custom-made for high-power applications, offering superior broadband focusing and collimation.

Aspheric Lenses:

• Specially designed for optimized on-axis performance, these lenses are perfect for laser diode collimation and fiber coupling. Aspheric lens pairs are also adept at relay imaging.
