What are aspherized achromatic lenses?
Aspherized Achromatic Lenses are doublet lenses consisting of two cemented optical elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size. The second surface of the doublet lenses is fused with a molded polymer aspheric surface. This mold creates a stable aspheric contour, removing or reducing wavefront errors present in typical achromatic lenses while boosting numerical aperture.
Why are aspherized achromatic lenses innovative?
Aspherized Achromatic Lenses are unique to EO and bridge the gap between color-corrected achromatic lenses and spherical aberration-corrected aspheric lenses, resulting in cost effective, color corrected aspheric components.
In what applications are aspherized achromatic lenses used?
Aspherized Achromatic Lenses are ideal for fiber optic focusing or collimation, image relay, inspection, scanning and high numerical aperture imaging.
