Where to Buy Lenses

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.

Laseron offers various types of lenses, including plano-convex, plano-concave, double convex, double concave, meniscus, ball, achromatic and cylindrical lenses.

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.

Shanghai Optics specializes in custom lenses for all applications, from prototype to volume production.

Artifex Engineering offers customised optical lenses such as achromatic or cylindrical lenses for almost any application in the UV to IR spectrum. Special requirements such as segmenting and black painted edges can be made on request. Visit our product page for more information. We look forward to your inquiry.

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.

EKSMA Optics offers standard plano-convex, plano-concave, biconvex, biconcave, cylindrical lenses and lens kits made of BK7, UVFS or CaF₂ optical materials. EKSMA Optics also has an extensive experience in manufacturing of custom optical lenses from a variety of other optical materials. Lenses of custom design can be produced in our CNC lens polishing facility and later coated for your application.

Universe Kogaku offers a wide range of lenses for different application areas:

- CCD lenses and CMOS lens assemblies for board and miniature camera applications

- microscope objectives and eyepieces, photographic lenses

- UV lens assemblies

We have a lot of from-stock solutions, but also offer custom developments.

Whatever the application, we have a wide range of stock and custom-made lenses available for devices operating within ultraviolet (UV), visible, near-infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) wavelengths. From aspheric, ball & half ball and drum & half drum to biconvex, concave, cylindrical lenses">cylindrical lenses, our lens portfolio meets a range of project demands.

OPTOMAN's AR-coated lenses are optimized for high laser power applications. These lenses can be used for intracavity, multi-kW CW, and ultrafast pulse applications. Sputtered anti-reflective coatings feature reflectance per surface down to R < 0.01%.

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.
