Optical Monocrystalline Silicon Si Biconcave Lens

Name: Optical Monocrystalline Silicon Si Biconcave Lens
Brand: Henan UM Optics Ltd
Availability: InStock

Description

Monocrystalline silicon biconcave lens are precision optical components featuring two concave spherical surfaces, crafted from high-purity monocrystalline silicon—a material renowned for exceptional transmission in the infrared (IR) spectrum (1.2–8 μm). Designed to diverge collimated light beams or expand optical paths, these lenses are manufactured with advanced grinding and polishing techniques to ensure tight dimensional tolerances, superior surface quality, and minimal optical distortion. Ideal for IR imaging, laser systems, and thermal sensing applications, our monocrystalline silicon lens can be customized in size (diameters from 5 mm to 100 mm), curvature, and coatings to meet specific system requirements, balancing high optical performance with mechanical durability for harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a factory with in-house monocrystalline silicon production, what customization options do you offer for silicon biconcave lens?

We provide end-to-end customization: from monocrystalline silicon material grade selection to lens parameters—diameters (5–100 mm), focal lengths (-5 mm to -500 mm), edge thicknesses (1–20 mm), and surface profiles (spherical, aspherical optional). We also tailor coatings ((AR for 3–5 μm/8–12 μm).

What coatings are recommended for silicon biconcave lenses in IR systems?

Broadband AR coatings (e.g., 3–5 μm or 8–12 μm) are most common, reducing surface reflections to

Since you produce your own monocrystalline silicon, how does this ensure quality and lead time for custom biconcave lens?

Our in-house silicon production allows strict control over material purity (≥99.999999999% ) and optical homogeneity, eliminating supply chain delays from external material suppliers. Each batch undergoes spectral transmittance and surface quality testing before fabrication, ensuring consistent performance.
