Buying Achromatic 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.

![]() A635, Boke Mansion No. 9 Xiyuan Road Xihu District, Hangzhou 310030 China | ![]() 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. |
![]() Your Custom Optics Expert Shanghai Optics Inc.425 Main St Suite 2E Metuchen, NJ 08840 United States | ![]() Shanghai Optics offers a large variety of custom achromatic lenses for our customers including achromatic spherical and aspherical lenses, achromatic singlets, doublets and triplets. Combined with one of our advanced AR coatings (covering 400–700 nm, 650–1050 nm, 1050–2500 nm), these optimized lenses are ideal for ensuring high resolution image quality and durability. With our in-house state-of the-art metrology and professional testing personnel, Shanghai Optics is able to provide a full range of inspection reports and CoC (Certificate of Conformance) for full optical characterization such as surface quality, dimensions, centricity, coating transmittance/reflectance (with SHIMADU UV3600 spectrophotometer), and overall/partial surface accuracy (with 6-inch ZYGO interferometer). FAI inspection reports are available upon request. |

![]() Optics, Metrology, and Photonics Schäfter + KirchhoffKieler Str. 212 22525 Hamburg Germany | ![]() We offer fiber couplers like the laser beam couplers series 60SMS/60SMF or the fiber collimators series 60FC or series 60FC-SF with super fine-focussing mechanism with achromatic and even apochromatic optics (corrected for 400 – 640 nm). |
![]() Custom Precision optical components Ecoptik (Changchun) Ltd.No. 399, Bocai Road Changchun City, Jilin, 130000 China | ![]() 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. |
![]() Bringing quality into focus Knight Optical (USA) LLC1130 Ten Rod Road Suite D102 North Kingstown Rhode Island 02852 United States | ![]() Knight Optical's offers achromatic lenses used to minimise chromatic and spherical aberrations. These achromatic doublet lenses are available in focal lengths up to 500 mm and are ideal in imaging applications, laser collimation, and as objective lenses in telescopes and other instruments. Custom achromatic lenses are available upon enquiry including triplet lenses and additional coatings. We also offer achromatic waveplates suitable for 450–680 nm, 700–1000 nm, 950–1300 nm, and 1200–1650 nm wavelength ranges, with applied AR coatings for consistent phase retardation over the entire wavelength. |
![]() 1100 US-22 North Plainfield, NJ 07060 United States | ![]() An achromatic lens, often called an achromat, is a type of optical lens capable of correcting chromatic aberration, a distortion that occurs when glass splits white light into multiple wavelength components. |
