UV fused silica plano-convex lenses are used to meet the requirements of laser electro-optic focusing and the imaging applications, they are precision manufactured using research-grade synthetic fused silica. UV grade plano-convex lenses have excellent transmission characteristics, higher operating temperatures and chemical purity. UV fused silica plano-convex lenses are polished to tight tolerance to minimize scatter and unwanted diffraction effects. Broadband AR coating is available for optimized throughput in the ultraviolet spectrum.
