Lenses and prisms shape, focus and redirect light, and the right choice depends on wavelength, aperture and image quality. This sub-category supplies optical elements for laboratory, laser and machine vision systems. Examples include Bi-telecentric C-mount lenses at magnifications of 0.158x, 0.25x, 0.345x and 1.0x for 2/3 inch detectors, a 3.0x beam expander, a mounted AR-coated aspheric lens with 50 mm focal length, corner cube prisms and DKDP crystals of 100 x 100 x 20 mm.

Buyers define focal length, diameter, material, coating and surface quality. Bi-telecentric lenses keep magnification constant with depth, which is valuable in dimensional measurement. Aspheric lenses reduce spherical aberration for tight laser focusing. Corner cubes return light parallel to its incoming path, which suits alignment and ranging. DKDP crystals serve as electro-optic modulators and frequency converters in high-power lasers.

  • Telecentric lenses for machine vision metrology
  • Aspheres and beam expanders for laser systems
  • Prisms and crystals for alignment and frequency control

Optics ship in protective cases. Custom focal lengths and coatings are quoted on request.

Optical Lenses & Prisms: questions buyers ask

Why use a bi-telecentric lens for measurement?
A bi-telecentric lens keeps magnification constant across its depth of field and has almost no perspective error. Objects appear the same size whether slightly nearer or farther, so edges and dimensions can be measured accurately. This makes them standard in machine vision inspection of mechanical parts.
What advantage does an aspheric lens offer?
An aspheric surface is shaped to cancel spherical aberration, so a single lens can focus a laser beam to a smaller spot or collimate light from a diode more efficiently than a spherical lens. This reduces the number of elements needed. AR coatings at the working wavelength cut reflection losses further.
What are DKDP crystals used for?
Deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals are used in Pockels cells for Q-switching and modulating lasers and in frequency conversion of high-power beams. Deuteration reduces infrared absorption compared with KDP. Large apertures like 100 x 100 mm suit high-energy laser systems. Keep them dry, as they are hygroscopic.
