Where to Buy Lenses

PPD manufactures custom, high precision optical components including spherical lenses, lens assemblies and spherical mirror substrates for imaging, machine vision and high energy laser applications from the ultraviolet (UV) through the mid-infrared (MIR). Also, we offer cylindrical lenses. Coated and uncoated optics are available from 2 mm to > 8” in diameter and in a wide range of materials including fused silica, infrasil, N-BK7, YAG, SF11 and other high index glasses. If your radius of curvature is not yet determined, contact us for information on existing fabrication tooling and test plates, or send us your design specifications for a fully custom lens or mirror quotation.

Low-loss ion-beam-sputtered anti-reflection (AR) coatings with reflectivity less than 0.1% per surface and low-absorption high reflector mirror coatings are available on PPD lenses or can be applied to customer supplied substrates. PPD uses only IBS thin film deposition technology because it is a repeatable process which results in coatings that are durable, stable and easy to clean.

DPM Photonics offers precision lenses for collimating the output of high power fiber devices. We also sell focusing objective lenses.

The Model 02-014-1 is an air spaced, computer designed multi-element lens that is diffaction-limited when used with fibers having core diameters as large as 1200 microns. Operational wavelength is 1064 nm. The 02-014 reimages the emitting surface of the fiber with a 0.67× demagnification. Focused spot sizes are significantly smaller than those achievable with single-element lenses used in a similar collimating/focusing configuration. All optical elements are fabricated from high laser-damage resistant glasses and are anti-reflection coated to reduce reflectance per surface to 0.13%. The working distance between the lens and the target is sufficiently large to allow use of a gas nozzle to enhance the cutting or welding process and to prevent debris from depositing on the lens surface.

The laser lenses provided by Intrinsic Crystal are mainly used for scanning, illumination, imaging, or cutting systems. They can be used for laser shaping, beam expanders, beam combiners, field lenses, galvanometer mirrors, and beam splitters. The available optical materials are quartz, BK7 glass, ZnSe, calcium fluoride, monocrystalline silicon, sapphire, ZK7 and others.

Edmund Optics offers the world’s largest inventory of off-the-shelf optical components, which includes an extensive selection of stock optical lenses such as achromatic lenses or aspheric lenses. Many of Edmund Optics’ lenses are offered with a variety of coating options for the ultraviolet (UV), visible, or infrared (IR) spectrum.
