Overview of Double Convex Lens

ATOPTIK’s double convex lens is a common and essential optical component widely used in optical imaging, laser focusing, beam collimation, fiber coupling, and applications in medical, industrial, and scientific research. With a symmetrical structure featuring convex surfaces on both sides, this lens excels in light convergence and imaging performance.

Features of Double Convex Lens


  • Symmetrical Double-Convex Structure

    • The double convex lens has convex surfaces on both sides with a fixed focal length, effectively focusing incident light to a point and reducing beam dispersion.

    • Ideal for light convergence and optical imaging, especially in short- and mid-focus optical systems.

  • High Optical Precision

    • Precision manufacturing ensures low aberration and high-resolution imaging, with surface quality reaching 40/20 or higher, providing excellent smoothness and clarity.

    • Outstanding surface accuracy and optical performance minimize light loss and scattering in the optical path.

  • Various Material Options

    • Available in different optical materials based on application needs, including BK-7 optical glass, fused silica, and sapphire.

    • BK7 is suitable for visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) applications, fused silica supports a wide spectral range from UV to NIR, and sapphire offers exceptional mechanical strength and heat resistance in harsh environments.

  • Coating Options and High Transmission

    • Custom anti-reflection (AR) coatings can be applied to the lens surface to reduce reflection losses and enhance transmission efficiency, with common coating ranges such as 400-700 nm, 1064 nm, and 1310/1550 nm.

    • Suitable for laser systems, optical instruments, optical communications, and other applications sensitive to light loss.


FAQs of Double Convex Lens

  • Q
    What is the difference between a double convex lens and a plano-convex lens?
    A

    A double convex lens is commonly used for finite imaging when object and image distances are relatively similar. A plano-convex lens is often selected when one conjugate is much longer, such as focusing collimated light.


  • Q
    Can double convex lenses be supplied with custom AR coatings?
    A

    Yes. Broadband visible, laser-line, communication-band and project-specific AR anti reflective coatings can be evaluated. Please provide substrate, wavelength, angle of incidence and reflectance requirements.


  • Q
    Can ATOPTIK manufacture double convex lenses from customer drawings?
    A

    Yes. ATOPTIK can review customer drawings or optical prescriptions covering material, diameter, radii, center thickness, focal length, surface quality, centration, coating and quantity. Final feasibility depends on the complete lens design.


  • Q
    What materials are available for custom double convex lenses?
    A

    Published material options include optical glass, fused silica and sapphire. Special optical glass or other substrates may also be evaluated according to wavelength, refractive index, dispersion, thermal behavior and availability.


  • Q
    Can ATOPTIK manufacture a custom 38mm double convex lens?
    A

    A 38 mm double convex lens can be evaluated according to clear aperture, focal length, surface radii, center thickness, material, coating and edge configuration. Send the drawing or system requirements for manufacturability review.
