SO-L24 SERIES
SO-L24 K9 bi-concave lenses form an economical negative-power series for beam expansion, focal-length extension and optical training systems. The symmetric concave geometry is useful in finite-conjugate layouts and compound lens groups where divergence is required without a planar surface.
Product Overview
Engineering Guidance
Source specifications are provided through the dimensional model data: diameter, negative focal length, center thickness, edge thickness, radius and back focal length. The material is identified as K9 optical glass for this product family.
Select by the required negative focal length and beam diameter, then reserve sufficient radial and axial clearance for the thicker lens edge.
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
Technical Resources
Selection notes and practical guidance matched to this product family.
Relate effective focal length, back focal length and lens orientation to focusing and collimation performance.
Compare transmission, thermal behavior and cost before choosing a substrate for a precision lens.
Use geometric and surface specifications to confirm optical fit, mounting depth and expected image quality.
