Mounted Precision Molded Aspheric Lenses

Product information "Mounted Precision Molded Aspheric Lenses"

Focal Length 1.50-22.00 mm; Numerical Aperture 0.13-0.71; Design Wavelength 405-7800 nm; Outer Diameter 6.24-14.25 mm; Thread MT6, MT8, MT9, MT12, MT14

With 27 of GH Optics’ standard precision molded aspheric lenses mounted into five different stainless steel lens holders, this series of components allow for very easy assembly. Our mounted precision molded aspheric lenses feature MT6, MT8, MT9, MT12 or MT14 threads for screwing the components into your systems, but they can also be soldered or welded to suitable structures in the required position.

GH Optics’ series of mounted precision molded glass aspheric lenses can be used for applications in the visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) wavebands, such as small beam collimation, focusing, and fiber coupling. In these applications, aspheric lenses avoid spherical aberrations known from spherical lenses and can therefore reduce the complexity of both the design process and the resulting optical system. While the cost and effort involved in the traditional production of aspheric lenses has often prevented the use of this type of lens in cost-sensitive applications, GH Optics manufactures affordable aspheric lenses with high, reproducible quality by molding glass preforms in molds of high precision.

On request, most aspheric lenses in our portfolio can be mounted into a custom assembly specified by the customer. For large-volume applications we recommend to contact your regional AMS Technologies office, so that we can tailor a solution based on your technical needs.

Three types of glass are available for our series of mounted precision molded aspheric lenses for visible and NIR wavelenghts, all RoHS compliant:

Solarguide™ fibers are the ideal choice for UV spectroscopy, lithography, excimer laser systems and UV curing applications that use Deuterium lamps or other UV sources below 230 nm. Solarguide™ fibers are available with either Polyimide/Thermocoat coating (UVS-THY) or aluminium coating (UVS-H2A) for high temperature applications. As a further option, Solarguide™ fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Solarguide™ fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.
