Mounted N-BK7 Symmetric-Concave Lenses, ARB2-VIS
The LINOS® series of mounted symmetric-concave lenses from Excelitas is manufactured from high-quality N-BK7 glass with a VIS coating and is offered in a range of focal lengths and diameters to accommodate a broad range of optical applications. These lenses are suitable for beam expansion, controlled divergence of collimated light, and configurations that require minimal spherical aberration and balanced optical performance. Each lens is fabricated to stringent tolerances to ensure consistent optical quality and is available either mounted in a black-anodized, engraved aluminum housing or unmounted for flexible system integration.
Our mounted symmetric-concave lenses, crafted from high-quality N-BK7 glass, integrate seamlessly into LINOS Microbench and Nanobench systems. The narrow focal-length tolerances of our lenses ensure consistent system integration and reliable optical behavior.
These lenses feature two equal radii of curvature, providing precise optical performance for applications requiring controlled beam divergence. The ARB2 VIS broadband anti-reflection coating delivers high transmission across the 450–700 nm wavelength range while providing excellent laser damage resistance.
ZEMAX files are offered to facilitate efficient optical design and simulation. Should you require custom specifications or higher-volume production, contact us for a tailored quote to meet your requirements.
Note: f = focal length (object side), f' = focal length (image side) , s = object distance, s' = back focal length, Ø = lens diameter, dm = center thickness, dr = edge thickness, h = primary vertex, h' = sagittal height secondary vertex, F, F' = focal points, H, H' = principal points; Tolerances: focal length f: ±2% image distance s': ±2%
