Visible & Infrared Aspheric Lenses

Product catalog summary
High Performance Visible and Infrared Aspheric Lenses
Overview: The document discusses high-performance aspheric lenses made from CaF2, ZnSe, and ZnS, designed for applications requiring broadband or multispectral operation from visible to infrared spectrums, such as military rangefinding and target designation.
Key Benefits: These lenses offer high surface accuracy for small focused spot sizes, low surface roughness to minimize scatter and loss, and sophisticated multi-layer thin film coatings for multispectral performance and high laser damage threshold. They are also lightweight, making them suitable for portable and airborne applications.
Manufacturing Technology: The lenses are produced using single point diamond turning technology, allowing for precise reproduction of rotationally symmetric aspheric shapes. This technology also enables the creation of surface diffractive phase profiles for advanced functionalities like achromatization.
Customization and Capabilities: REO specializes in custom optics production, offering a wide range of coating and fabrication technologies to deliver high-performance components in large volumes. They can produce lenses with both centered and off-center through holes and non-circular shapes.
Typical Specifications:
  • Diameter Range: 6 mm – 200 mm
  • Wavelength Range: CaF2 (150 nm – 8 µm), ZnS (450 nm – 14 µm), ZnSe (550 nm - 18 µm)
  • Surface Roughness: CaF2 (50 Å rms), ZnS, ZnSe (40 Å rms)
  • Surface Accuracy (@ 632 nm): λ/4
  • Surface Quality: 20-10
  • Clear Aperture: 90%

Visible & Infrared Aspheric Lenses-1

precision optical solutions Covering the full spectrum of your photonics needs. High Performance Visible and Infrared Aspheric Lenses These CaF2, ZnSe and ZnS aspheric lenses are intended for demanding applications that require broadband or multispectral operation from the visible through the infrared, such as military rangefinding and target designation. They offer a unique combination of benefits including high surface accuracy to achieve small focused spot sizes and low surface roughness for minimal scatter and loss. They also feature sophisticated, multi-layer thin film coatings that deliver multispectral performance, high laser damage threshold, and are produced with a densified structure to yield exceptional environmental stability. And because these advantages can be maintained even with unusually thin lens profiles, these aspheres can deliver important weight advantages for man portable, field and airborne applications. These optics are produced utilizing single point diamond turning technology which enables highly accurate reproduction of virtually any rotationally symmetric aspheric shape. In addition, REO can also employ diamond turning to create a surface diffractive phase profile, enabling more sophisticated functionality, such as achromatization of single element lenses. REO also has extensive capabilities for machining lenses to yield both centered and off-center through holes or to achieve shapes other than circular. REO specializes in the production of custom optics, and employs a broad range of coating and fabrication technologies to deliver high performance, cost competitive components in large volume. Since all our products are built to meet the exact needs of customers, the following specifications represent typical values for this class of optics, but are by no means the limit of Typical Specfications Diameter Range Wavelength Range Surface Roughness Surface Quality Clear Aperture 5505 Airport Blvd. Boulder, CO 80301 USA I 303.938.1960 I thinkreo.com
