Plano-Convex Spherical Lenses

Plano-Convex Spherical Lenses are available in both Laser Quality and Analytical Quality polish designated as LQ ( Laser Quality) and AQ (Analytical Quality). Plano-Convex Spherical Lenses are available in UV Grade Fused Silica (FS) & BK7 Glass materials*. Plano-Convex Spherical Lenses have one flat (plano) surface and one spherical surface curved outward (convex) to converge the transmitted rays from an object, thus forming a real or virtual image of that object. A Plano-Convex Spherical Lens is used as a simple imaging lens to focus, collect and collimate light. These lenses have positive Effective Focal Lengths.

* Also see our VUV grade CaF2 & MgF2 Lenses for Vacuum UV (VUV) applications.
