Where to Buy Achromatic Optics

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.

We offer fiber couplers like the laser beam couplers series 60SMS or the fiber collimators series 60FC or series 60FC-F with fine-focussing mechanism with achromatic and even apochromatic optics (corrected for 400 – 640 nm).

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.

Knight Optical's offers achromatic lenses used to minimise chromatic and spherical aberrations. These achromatic doublet lenses are available in focal lengths up to 500mm 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.

EKSMA Optics offers achromatic air-spaced waveplates made from crystal quartz and MgF₂ plates mounted with an air gap. Achromatic waveplates feature nearly constant retardation over a broad wavelength range.

We offer custom doublet lenses manufacturing solutions. We perform precise gluing and coating in order to guaranty a high quality of 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.
