As a custom lens manufacturer, ATOPTIK manufactures custom double convex lenses for finite-conjugate imaging, image relay, laser focusing, machine vision and scientific instruments. Available in optical glass, fused silica, sapphire and other optical materials, each lens can be customized by diameter, focal length, surface accuracy, centration and anti-reflection coating to match your optical system. A double convex lens, also called a bi-convex lens, has two outward-curved spherical surfaces and positive optical power. It converges incident light and is commonly used in finite-conjugate imaging where both the object and image are located at finite distances. A symmetrical double convex lens is especially useful when the object and image distances are relatively similar. When one conjugate is much longer than the other, a plano-convex or differently bent positive lens may provide better aberration control. 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.

Key Features

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.
