Axicons are lenses with conical surfaces that transform laser beams into ring-shaped or Bessel beams. These lenses are used in applications such as optical trapping, microscopy, and laser machining, where unique beam profiles are advantageous for precision and control.
Some aspects to consider before buying axicons: beam shaping capability, optical quality, material durability, precision, coating options, thermal stability, compatibility with other optics, environmental resistance, mounting options, ease of integration.

Your reliable partner for photonics innovations!
EKSMA Optics, UAB Dvarcioniu St. 2B LT-10233 Vilnius Lithuania
EKSMA Optics offers axicon lenses with quick ex-stock delivery. The range of standard cone apex angles varies from 140° to 179°. Custom axicons can be manufactured in EKSMA Optics CNC polishing facility starting from a single-piece prototype to batch production.
CANUNDA-AXICON by Cailabs is a reflective axicon that generates a high-quality Bessel beam. Its design offers far superior beam properties compared to classical refractive design: no oscillation, closer to the theoretical profile.
Workshop of Photonics has circular gratings, also known as flat axicons, are space-variant retarder plates that can transform Gaussian beams into Bessel–Gauss beams.
Main features:
flat optics – saves space, easy to handle
positive and negative Bessel–Gauss zones – 3 in 1 usage possibilities
suitable for high-power lasers (high damage threshold)
reliable and resistant surface – the structure is inside the bulk piece
An axicon lens is a special lens with one plano (flat) surface and one conical surface. Also known as a rotationally symmetric prism, an axicon lens creates a focal line along the optical axis using interference, and can convert a laser beam into a ring shaped beam of light. Axicons are typically defined by their apex angles.
Shanghai Optics offers high-precision axicon lenses for medical, scientific and industrial applications. From eye surgery to optical tweezers to laser drilling, from optical coherence tomography to particle physics, these prisms play a very important role in a wide range of optical systems. We produce a variety of axicon lenses from optical materials such as fused silica, sapphire, ZnSe, and plastics. Our lenses can be made with almost any ring diameter, and both refractive and diffractive axicon lenses are available. We can also design optical assemblies such as a combination of axicons with beam expanders, lenses, or additional axicons to produce your desired beam profile.
