Buying Axicons
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.

![]() The Future Depends on Optics Edmund Optics101 East Gloucester Pike Barrington, NJ 08007 United States | ![]() Edmund Optics offers a wide range of specialty lenses, including Bessel grade and ring grade axicons. |
![]() 1100 US-22 North Plainfield, NJ 07060 United States | ![]() 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. |
![]() Shaping the light Cailabs1 rue Nicolas Joseph Cugnot 35000 Rennes France | ![]() 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. |
