This is an air-gap type acromatic condensing lens with no adhesive attached to the lens.
It is used as a condensing lens for a 532 nm high-power laser machine with a built-in coaxial epi-illumination observation system.
Chromatic aberration is corrected in a wide wavelength range centered around 532 nm by optimization based on lens design.
For lenses with a focal length of 60 mm or more, laser collimation can be narrowed down to a spot diameter that is almost diffraction limited.
Since the lens is coated with an anti-reflection film, the loss of light due to reflection is small, and the beam can be concentrated efficiently.
A separately sold protective glass can be installed to protect the lens from flying light caused by laser processing.
A special lens holder (LHF-M34-30) is available for fixing the condenser lens.
* Use the condenser lens when you want to focus an object at infinity, or when you want to use the point light source as parallel light.
Sufficient optical performance cannot be obtained when the camera is used for close-range imaging.
* The condenser lens has an orientation that allows light to enter.
* Be sure to allow parallel light to enter from the upper side (look at the engraving on the side of the lens barrel upright).
* Doing so can cause chromatic aberration and spherical aberration to become large, which can increase the size of the focus spot, and can cause blurred images.
If you use the instrument outside the specified wavelength range, chromatic aberration may increase and transmittance may be reduced.
* When using with a high-power laser or near a light source that emits heat, the condenser lens may become hot and the focal length of the condenser lens may change.
* Heat dissipation measures are necessary when irradiating for a long time.
* If you want to reduce the condensing spot diameter, widen the incident beam diameter (1/e^2) to about half the effective diameter of the condensing lens.
