Focal Length 0.91-5.95 mm; Numerical Aperture 0.56-0.86; Design Wavelength 4-9,5 µm; Outer Lens Diameter 3.000-8.000 mm; Working Distance 0.66-5.00 mm
GH Optics’ series of infrared lenses are aspheric optics, precision molded in IR glass, designed for use in the short-wave, mid-wave, and long-wave infrared (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR) bands. Typical applications are collimating or focusing (laser) beams, but also coupling quantum cascade lasers (QCL).
With their large numerical apertures, these precision molded infrared aspheric lenses provide optimum collection of light for infrared lasers (short wave (SWIR), mid wave (MWIR) and long wave (LWIR) types), as well as quantum cascade lasers (QCL).
Two types of chalcogenide glass are available:
- GH6, made from As40Se60 material, is most popular and widely used. This material is comparable to infrared glass of other leading brands in the market, features high transmission, is Ge free and RoHS compliant and can be molded, grinded and polished.
- GH2, made from Ge28Sb12Se60 material, is especially suitable for collimating lenses, gas testing and coupling of quantum cascade lasers (QCL). This material also is comparable to infrared glass of other leading brands in the market, featuring high transmission and RoHS compliance. Lenses made from this material can be molded, grinded and polished and are suitable for high-temperature applications.

Our series of molded infrared aspheric lenses can be coated with a range of AR (anti reflection) coatings, including two standard AR coatings (RA, RB) featuring average reflectance values of <1.0% or even <0.5% for wavelength ranges of 3 µm to 5 µm or 8 µm to 12 µm respectively. Other customized coatings like HD (High Density) or SWB (Short Wave Blocking) are available on request.

Active Area Diameter 0.08-1.1 mm; Responsivity 90- 3,000 kV/W; NEP 10-220 fW/√Hz; Package TO-8, TO-8 Flange, Custom; System Bandwidth 50, 200 MHzExcelitas’ hybrid optical APD receiver modules are comprised of a photodetector (PIN or APD) and a transimpedance amplifier in the same hermetically sealed package. Having both an amplifier and photodetector in the same package allows low-noise pickup from the surrounding environment and reduces parasitic capacitance from interconnect allowing lower-noise operation.The C30950EH is a silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) amplifier module with 50 MHz system bandwidth and includes Excelitas’ C30817 silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) . With a useful diameter of 0.8 mm, the C30950EH provides good response between 400 and 1100 nm and is supplied in a modified 12-lead TO-8 package. The C30950EH is the cost-effective, pin-compatible alternative to the C30659 series employing a bipolar amplifier.The C30659 series includes a silicon (Si) or InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) with a hybrid preamplifier, in the same hermetically sealed TO-8 package, to allow for ultra-low noise operation, and features an inverting amplifier design with an emitter follower used as an output buffer stage. The Si APDs used in these devices are the same as used in Excelitas’ C30817EH, C30902EH , C30954EH and C30956EH products , while the InGaAs APDs are used in Excelitas’ C30645EH and C30662EH products . These detectors with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth provide very good response between 830 and 1550 nm and very fast rise- and fall-times at all wavelengths. The preamplifier section of the module uses a very low-noise GaAs FET front end designed to operate at higher transimpedance than Excelitas’ standard C30950 Series.The C30659-UV-1 includes a UV-enhanced silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) providing very good response between 400 nm and 950 nm.The LLAM series of fully RoHS-compliant APD modules features an avalanche photodiode chip, thermoelectric (TE) cooler, and preamplifier, all in a single hermetically-sealed, modified 12-lead TO-66 flange package. The modules are easy to install and offer additional heat sinking. The use of a TE-cooler ensures lower noise and constant responsivity over a +5 to +40 °C ambient temperature range. The LLAM Series modules with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth are designed for the detection of high-speed, low-light analog signals.Applications: Laser Range Finder; Video Scanning Imagers; High-speed Analytical Instrumentation; Free-space Communication; UV-VIS-NIR Light Sensing; Distributed Temperature Sensing Part Number Detector Active Diameter Bandwidth Responsivity NEP Output Voltage Swing, 50 Ω Package Download 500 nm 900 nm 1060 nm 1550 nm C30659-UV-1 UV-Enhanced 1.1 mm 50 MHz 3,000 kV/W - - - 10 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-900-R5BH C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 400 kV/W - - 40 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-900-R8AH C30817 0.8 mm 50 MHz - 3,000 kV/W - - 12 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 100 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060E-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 100 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1060-3AH C30956 3 mm 50 MHz - 450 kV/W 280 kV/W - 90 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550E-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30659-1550E-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 Datasheet C30919E C30817 0.8 mm 40 MHz - 1,000 kV/W 250 kV/W - 20 fW/√Hz 0.7 V TO, 1 in - C30950EH C30817 0.8 mm 50 MHz - 560 kV/W 140 kV/W - 27 fW/√Hz 0.7 V TO-8 Datasheet LLAM-1550-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550E-R08BH C30645 0.08 mm 200 MHz - - - 90 kV/W 220 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 kV/W 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-900-R5BH C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 400 kV/W - - 40 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1550E-R2AH C30662 0.2 mm 50 MHz - - - 340 130 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 50 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060E-R8BH C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 50 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE Datasheet LLAM-1060-R8BH-FC C30954 0.8 mm 200 MHz - 370 kV/W 200 kV/W - 55 fW/√Hz 0.9 V TO-8 FLANGE+FC Datasheet HUV-1100BGH UV-100 2.5 mm 0.001 MHz - 130 MV/W - - 30 fW/√Hz 5 min CUSTOM - HUV-2000BH UV-215 5.4 mm 0.001 MHz - 130 MV/W - - 70 fW/√Hz 6 min CUSTOM - HeliX-902-200 C30902 0.5 mm 200 MHz - 650 kV/W - - 50 fW/√Hz 1 V CUSTOM - HeliX-954-200 C30954 0.8 mm 150 MHz - 650 kV/W 360 kV/W - 110 fW/√Hz 1 V CUSTOM - Please note that Excelitas products are available from us only in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
