UV Scanning Lenses accommodate large input beam diameters.
With ability to accommodate large input beam dia of up to 17 mm and wavelengths of 266 or 355 nm, telecentric UV scanning lenses include 4 units with focal lengths of 34, 50, and two at 100 mm with scan fields of 9, 20, 45, and 55 mm, respectively. Diffraction limited units have deviation from telecentricity of less than 0.9-
Read More »UV Microscope Objective has numerical aperture of 0.90.
UV microscope objective provides 0.28 micron spot imaging at wavelength of 248 nm and 0.41 micron spot imaging at wavelength of 365 nm. Featuring effective focal length of 5.5 mm and field of view of 100 microns, it is diffraction limited with less than 0.07 waves RMS wave front distortion over entire field of view.

Beam Expander includes diffraction limited optical designs.
Featuring large output clear apertures of 10-100 mm, expansion ratios from 5x to 40x, and input apertures of 1.3-20 mm, laser beam expanders provide adjustable focus for collimation at varying wavelengths, which can be used for divergence correction, collimation, and focusing. With damage thresholds of 500 MW/cm-² typical, they can be specified at single and dual wavelengths from 248-1,550 nm....
