Buying Achromatic Optics

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

Related product categories: lenses, aspheric optics

Achromatic optics are designed to minimize chromatic aberrations over a broad wavelength range, improving image quality in various optical applications. These optics, often in the form of lens doublets or objectives, are essential in systems requiring high precision and clarity, such as microscopy, photography, and telescopic systems.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing gives you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying achromatic optics. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for achromatic optics. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

achromatic optics

Hangzhou Shalom EO is a professional supplier of a series of achromatic optics, including achromatic waveplates, super-achromatic waveplates, and achromatic doublet lenses.

Shalom EO offers off-the-shelf and custom achromatic waveplates and super-achromatic waveplates. Our standard diameter 25.4 mm achromatic waveplates are composed of one quartz plate and one MgF2 plate cemented together or with an air gap in between the plates, offering flat retardation response of a quarter wavelength or a half wavelength over three optional wavelength ranges including 450–650 nm, 690–1200 nm, and 900–2000 nm, while other custom wavelength ranges and retardation values are also available. The air spaced achromatic waveplates have an outstanding damage threshold greater than 500 MW/cm2, suitable for high power applications.

Shalom EO’s standard super achromatic waveplates consisting of six quartz and MgF2 plates cemented together deliver ultra-stable retardation over extensive spectral regions, 325–1100 nm and 600–2700 nm (for quarter waveplates), or 310–1100 nm and 600–2700 nm (for half waveplates), in addition to other custom wavelength ranges and retardation values, making our super achromatic waveplate excellent for the altering of polarization state in multi-spectrum context.

Shalom EO’s achromatic lenses or achromatic doublet lenses are available in stock and custom versions, as for the stock versions, selection: an abundant selection of focal lengths 7.5 mm to 1000 mm (for positive achromatic doublet lens) and –100 mm to –20 mm (for negative achromatic doublet lens) are accessible with the lenses in standardized sizes to ensure seamless integration into various optical systems. Coating options include 350–650 nm, 650–1050 nm, 1050–1580 nm AR coatings, or other custom coatings.

achromatic optics

Ecoptik offers achromatic coated lenses which are used to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations. They are ideal for a range of applications, including fluorescence microscopy, image relay, inspection, or spectroscopy. Such a lens is often made by either cementing two elements together or mounting the two elements in a housing.

The achromatic coated lens can also be called an achromatic doublet lens or achromatic cemented lens. If you want to know more information, please contact us.
