UV Fused Silica Drum Lens

SO-L32 UV fused silica drum lenses combine spherical optical surfaces with a cylindrical sidewall that is easier to locate and retain than a full ball lens. They are useful for compact fiber coupling, miniature collimators and UV-visible optical probes requiring a short focal length.

Product Overview

Configure UV Fused Silica Drum Lens around focal geometry and coating

The model geometry is defined by diameter and center thickness, while focal length and back focal length establish the optical spacing. The cylindrical barrel improves mechanical registration but still requires accurate centering relative to the optical axis.

Choose a drum lens when ball-lens-like power is needed with a more practical cylindrical mounting surface.

Optical behavior

The model geometry is defined by diameter and center thickness, while focal length and back focal length establish the optical spacing. The cylindrical barrel improves mechanical registration but still requires accurate centering relative to the optical axis.

Selection and integration

Choose a drum lens when ball-lens-like power is needed with a more practical cylindrical mounting surface.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
