Optical lenses include spherical lenses, aspherical lenses, bonded lenses and cylindrical lenses, and can be customized according to your needs with different types of coatings, including transmittance enhancement, reflective, beam-splitting and so on, or without coatings. Substrate materials include various kinds of optical glass, fused silica, calcium fluoride (CaF2), zinc selenide (ZnSe), germanium (Ge), silicon (Si), sapphire and so on.

types of optical lenses

Optical lenses are devices that use the principle of refraction to interfere with the focus of a light beam. These elements are usually made of glass. A single lens may have only one element, while a compound lens consists of multiple elements. An optical lens can either concentrate or disperse light, depending on its design. Its substrate determines whether the output of the lens is concentrated or diffused.

Plano-convex and biconvex optical lenses concentrate light at one point as it passes through the lens. Plano-concave and biconcave optics disperse light as it passes through the lens. Some optical lenses are optimized for color correction and are called achromatic lenses. Some applications may also require optics that correct for spherical aberration. In that case, aspherical optics are an ideal choice.

Depending on the intended application, the materials used in the design of an optical lens may vary greatly. For example, optical lenses for infrared transmission are germanium, zinc selenide or silicon. When designing optical lenses for ultraviolet applications, quartz glass is preferred. Optical lenses are used in a wide range of applications such as laser processing and microscopy. Some of the areas where optical lenses are widely used are life sciences, communications and imaging.
