Mounted Precision Molded Aspheric Lenses

Focal Length 0.8-22 mm; Numerical Aperture 0.13-0.68; Design Wavelength 405-1550 nm; Outer Lens Diameter 2.400-11.000 mm; Working Distance 0.20-20.41 mm GH Optics’ series of molded lenses are precision molded glass aspheric lenses for applications in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavebands, such as small beam collimation, focusing, and fiber coupling. Spherical lenses are relatively easy to manufacture but have disadvantages such as spherical aberrations in many optical applications. Aspheric lenses have clear advantages here – they avoid spherical aberrations due to their principle and can therefore reduce the complexity of both the design process and the resulting optical system. However, the cost and effort involved in the traditional production of aspheric lenses, e.g. using diamond turning, has often prevented the use of this type of lens in cost-sensitive applications. GH Optics manufactures aspheric lenses by molding glass preforms in molds of high precision. The result is affordable aspheric lenses with high, reproducible quality. In addition to a wide range of standard types (see below), GH Optics also manufactures custom aspheric lenses. So if you don’t see the aspheric lens you need in our catalog, we can have it custom built for you. Our optical experts help you defining the best solution and GH Optics’ engineering team can manufacture at off-the-shelf lens prices that you won’t find elsewhere. Four types of glass are available for our series of molded aspheric lenses, all RoHS compliant: Lens Series Glass Type Refractive Index (nd) Abbe Number (νd) CTE dn/dT RoHS Compliance LD D-ZK3 1.586 60.71 7.6×10-6/°C 3.2×10-6/°C yes LE D-ZLaF52La 1.806 40.79 6.9×10-6/°C 6.5×10-6/°C yes LF L-LAL12 1.674 55.00 6.9×10-6/°C 6.5×10-6/°C yes LG D-LaK6 1.690 52.65 6.9×10-6/°C 6.5×10-6/°C yes   Our series of molded aspheric lenses can be coated with a range of visible and NIR coatings, including four standard AR coatings (VA, VB, VC, VQ) featuring average reflectance values of ≤0.6%, ≤0.5%, or even ≤0.25%, for wavelength ranges of 380 nm to 700 nm, 600 nm to 1100 nm, 1050 nm to 1650 nm, or 1300 nm to 1700 nm respectively.
