Types of Optical Lenses

Optical Lenses 

Shenyang Yibete Optical offers a wide variety of optical lenses, including spherical lenses, aspherical lenses, bonded lenses, and cylindrical lenses. Customers can customize different coating types according to their needs, such as anti-reflective coatings, reflective coatings, and beam splitter coatings, or opt for lenses without any coating. Substrate materials encompass various optical glasses, fused silica, as well as calcium fluoride (CaF2), zinc selenide (ZnSe), germanium (Ge), silicon (Si), and sapphire. 

Optical lenses are devices that utilize the principles of refraction to manipulate the focal point of light beams. Typically crafted from glass, a single lens may consist of only one component, while compound lenses are composed of multiple elements. Optical lenses can converge or diverge light, depending on their design. The substrate of a lens determines whether the output is focused or dispersed. 

When light passes through a lens, convex and biconvex optical lenses converge light to a point, whereas concave and biconcave lenses cause light to diverge. Some optical lenses are optimized for chromatic correction and are known as achromatic lenses. Certain applications may also require lenses to correct spherical aberration, for which non-spherical optical lenses are an ideal choice. 

Materials used in the design of optical lenses vary significantly based on the intended application. For instance, lenses for infrared transmission may utilize materials such as germanium, zinc selenide, or silicon. Quartz glass is preferred when designing optical lenses for ultraviolet applications. Optical lenses find extensive applications in laser processing, microscopy, and other fields. Key areas of widespread lens application include life sciences, telecommunications, and imaging.
