Custom MgF2 Coated Achromatic Lenses
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
◢What is Achromatic doublet lenses
Achromatic doublet lenses consist of two optical components cemented together to form achromatic doublet lenses.
CLZ Optical Co., Ltd. provide custom achromatic doublets are available with a single layer MgF2 coating for the visible spectrum.
Our MgF2 coating can be less than 1.75% reflectance @ 400-700nm, AOI=0°. And we can produce high-precision optical components that make up achromatic lenses according to customer requirements before cemented.
Achromatic lenses are designed to minimize chromatic aberration, a common optical issue where different wavelengths of light focus at different distances. This leads to color fringing around images. By combining two or more lens elements made from different types of glass, achromatic lenses bring multiple wavelengths of light into focus at the same point, resulting in a clearer and sharper image.Magnesium fluoride (MgF2) coating is applied to lenses to reduce surface reflection and enhance the transmission of light through the lens. This coating improves the performance of optical systems by reducing glare and increasing contrast.
An achromatic lens is a lens consisting of two optical components, a positive low refractive index (coronet) and a negative high refractive index (flint), glued together. Compared to monolithic lenses that contain only a single piece of glass, the doublet design of a two-piece lens provides the user with additional design freedom and further optimizes the lens performance. As a result, achromatic lenses offer significant advantages over monolithic lenses of equal diameter and focal length. An achromatic lens is available in various configurations, the most common of which are positive achromatic lenses, negative achromatic lenses, triple achromatic lenses and aspheric achromatic lenses. It is important to note that achromatic lenses can be either doublet (two elements) or triplet (three elements), and the number of elements is independent of the amount of light corrected by the lens. In other words, an achromatic lens in either a doublet or triplet configuration can correct for both red and blue light in the visible range.
Custom MgF2 Coated Achromatic Lenses are essential optical components that combine the benefits of achromatic lens design and magnesium fluoride coating. They minimize chromatic aberration, enhance light transmission, reduce glare, and improve image contrast. These lenses are durable and can be customized to meet specific requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including photography, microscopy, astronomy, laser systems, scientific research, and optical communication. Their high performance and reliability make them a valuable choice for any precision optical system.
