Features


  • Versatile Range: The 74-Series Lens Fixtures cover a wide spectral range from 200-2000 nm, making them suitable for various applications in UV, VIS, and NIR spectrums.

  • High-Quality Optics: Equipped with f/2 fused silica and BK7 lenses, these fixtures ensure optimal light transmission and minimal beam divergence.

  • SMA 905 Compatibility: All lenses feature an inner barrel threaded for SMA 905 connectors, ensuring easy integration with existing systems.

  • Adjustable Focus: The 74-UV and 74-90-UV models allow for adjustments to optimize setups for UV-VIS or VIS-NIR applications.

  • Enhanced Reflectivity: The 74-90-UV model includes a UV-enhanced aluminum mirror with >80% reflectivity, redirecting light at a 90° angle.

  • Direct-Attach Option: The 74-DA model screws directly onto a spectrometer’s SMA 905 connector, increasing light throughput and efficiency.

  • Achromatic Design: The 74-ACR model features an achromatic doublet to correct for spherical and chromatic aberrations, ensuring precise measurements.

  • Robust Temperature Range: These lenses operate effectively up to 150 °C, with the COL-UV-30 model capable of withstanding up to 200 °C.

  • Large Diameter Option: The COL-UV-30 offers a 30 mm diameter lens for coupling larger free-space beams to optical fibers.

  • Fine Focus Control: The 84-Series Lens Fixtures provide fine focus adjustments, ideal for precise optical fiber coupling.

Applications


  • 74-UV Collimating Lens
    (200-2000 nm) The 74-UV has an f/2 fused silica lens for 200-2000 nm. When focused for collimation, beam divergence is 2° or less, depending on fiber diameter. The 74-UV can be adjusted for UV-VIS or VIS-NIR setups.

  • 74-90-UV Collimating Lens
    (200-2000 nm) The 74-90-UV features a mirror located under its cap that reflects light from the collimating lens to 90°. The mirror is coated with a UV-enhanced aluminum substrate that is >80% reflective from 200-2000 nm.

  • 74-VIS Collimating Lens
    (350-2000 nm) The 74-VIS has a BK7 lens suitable for the VIS-NIR. These single-lens systems have the disadvantage of chromatic aberration, due to dispersion or variation in refractive index with wavelength.

  • 74-DA Collimating Lens
    (200-2000 nm) The 74-DA Direct-attach Collimating Lens screws on to a spectrometer’s SMA 905 Connector for increased light throughput. The lens collects collimated light in a straight path of open air and focuses it onto a spectrometer’s slit.

  • 74-ACR Collimating Lens
    (350-2000 nm) The 74-ACR has two optical elements cemented together to form an achromatic doublet, optimized to correct for spherical and chromatic aberrations.

  • 84-Series Lens Fixtures
    (200-2000 nm) The 84-Series Collimating Lens is designed for coupling larger free-space beams to optical fibers. The fiber is coupled to the assembly with an inner 17.85 mm threaded barrel. The barrel positions the fiber ~100 mm from the lens surface and is turned to achieve a fine focus.

  • COL-UV-30 Collimating Lens
    (200-2000 nm) This 74-series Collimating Lens is our largest-diameter lens – 30 mm – and couples to SMA 905 connectors for simple use.
