UV Grade Fused Silica is synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide of extremely high purity providing maximum transmission from 195 to 2100 nm. This non-crystalline, colorless silica glass combines a very low thermal expansion coefficient with good optical qualities, and excellent transmittance in the ultraviolet region. Transmission and homogeneity exceed those of crystalline quartz without the problems of orientation and temperature instability inherent in the crystalline form. It will not fluoresce under UV light and is resistant to radiation. For high-energy applications, the extreme purity of fused silica eliminates microscopic defect sites that could lead to laser damage. For more information, refer to our optical materials Technical Note
Our Fused Silica cylindrical lenses are designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optic applications. They are manufactured from UV grade fused silica and are polished to tight tolerances to ensure minimum wavefront distortion. Tight surface quality tolerances minimize scatter and unwanted diffraction effects, making these lenses especially well suited for sensitive laser applications, including laser scanning, diode laser beam shaping. UV grade fused silica provides maximum transmission from 195–2100 nm. It will not fluoresce under UV light and is resistant to radiation. And for high-energy applications, the extreme purity of fused silica eliminates microscopic defect sites that could lead to laser damage.
Our AR.33 laser line V-coating offers the lowest reflectance at 1064 nm for maximum transmission while maintaining high durability and high damage resistance. Valuable laser energy is efficiently transmitted through the plano-convex lens rather than lost to surface reflection and scattering. The trade off to its superior performance is the minimal laser line wavelength range.
In a typical laser diode (a P-i-N diode), electrical current flows vertically between contacts on top of and below the semiconductor material substrate. Charge carrier combination and the resulting light emission occurs in the intrinsic region between the doped electrodes. A horizontal optical cavity is formed by cleaving the substrate and polishing the side faces. Fresnel surface reflections at these faces create optical feedback resulting in a lasing effect. Light emitted from a rectangular aperture typically takes on an elliptical beam profile with angle θ1 and θ2 along the major and minor axes. Two cylindrical lenses with focal lengths f2/f1 = θ1/θ2, each positioned their focal length away from the laser diode, may be used to produce a circular collimated beam output.
Our CYH Series Cylindrical Lens Rotation Adapters have been designed to accommodate the special geometry of cylindrical optics. The holders consist of a lens base that centers the lens in the holder and a knurled retaining ring to hold the lens in place. The inner face of the retaining ring is a Delrin washer that contacts the lens surface. This configuration avoids the possibility of a point contact between the lens surface and a metal retaining ring. The CYH-1 and CYH-2 fit into LM-R Series mounts to provide accurate positioning and easy rotation for cylindrical axis alignment.
Our CYM-2R Adjustable Cylindrical Lens Mount can hold and position cylindrical optics as large as 2-in in height. What makes this mount unique is its ability to rotate a cylindrical optic about its center. This feature eliminates unwanted translation during rotation of the power axis.
