A plano-convex lens has one convex surface and one flat surface, providing a positive focal length. It is typically used to reduce beam size, decrease focal length, or magnify images. To minimize spherical aberration, the plano-convex lens should be oriented so that the curved surface faces the incoming collimated beam when focusing, while the flat surface faces the point source when collimating. LBTEK CaF₂ plano-convex lenses are coated on both surfaces with an anti-reflection (AR) coating for 1.65–3 μm, reducing surface reflectance. LBTEK selects calcium fluoride (CaF₂) for manufacturing a wide range of lenses. CaF₂ offers high transmission in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectral ranges and features an exceptionally high damage threshold, making it widely used in the excimer laser industry. Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) has a relatively low refractive index, ranging from 1.35 to 1.51 across the 180 nm–8.0 µm spectral range. It also exhibits excellent chemical inertness compared to similar materials such as barium fluoride (BaF₂) and magnesium fluoride (MgF₂). In addition, CaF₂ possesses high hardness, making it an ideal material for lenses used in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectral regions.
Plano-convex lenses are typically used to reduce beam size, decrease focal length, or magnify images. LBTEK manufactures a variety of lenses using CaF₂, which offers high transmission in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectral ranges, along with an exceptionally high damage threshold, making it widely applied in the excimer laser industry. All LBTEK circular lenses can be mounted in LBTEK standard lens tubes, fixed lens mounts, or various coaxial mounting plates, allowing customers to choose the most suitable installation method for different application scenarios.
