Description

UV grade calcium fluoride meniscus lenses are high-purity single-crystal optical lenses specifically engineered for ultraviolet broadband optical systems. Featuring a meniscus structure with one convex surface and one concave surface, the lens delivers effective aberration correction while maintaining excellent deep UV transmittance performance. Manufactured with strict low-defect crystal growth and deep impurity removal technology, this UV specialized CaF₂ material features ultra-low solarization, negligible intrinsic absorption and no UV-induced fluorescence. The lens provides stable optical performance and consistent beam quality under long-term deep ultraviolet irradiation, making it a core optical component for high-precision UV light collimation, focusing and optical path correction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does UV grade CaF₂ meniscus lens produce fluorescence under UV excitation?
No, UV grade CaF₂ adopts ultra-high-purity crystal formula with extremely low impurities, generating almost no intrinsic fluorescence and ensuring pure UV signal output.
Why choose UV grade CaF₂ meniscus lens instead of fused silica for deep UV applications?
Fused silica has strong absorption in the deep UV band and is prone to solarization, while UV grade CaF₂ provides excellent deep UV transmittance and anti-solarization performance without fluorescence interference.
Is anti-reflection coating necessary for this UV meniscus lens?
Uncoated lenses are suitable for general broadband UV use; customized UV anti-reflection coating is optional to further improve transmittance for single-wavelength deep UV laser equipment.
