Artifex Engineering Datasheets for Optical Lenses
Optical lenses are transparent components made from optical-quality materials and curved to converge or diverge transmitted rays from an object. These rays then form a real or virtual image of the object. This area includes micro lenses.

|---|---|
| Cylindrical lenses are used to spread or focus light in one plane. | |
| Double-Concave (DCV) lenses have two inward curved surfaces. DCV lenses have a negative focal length and are used for image reduction or to spread light. | |
| Double-Convex (DCX) lenses are most suitable where the conjugates are on opposite sides of the lens and the ratio of the distances is less than 5:1, e.g. as simple image... | |
| Most useful when coating is not an issue. Very tight diameter tolerance for accurate fibre coupling. | |
| Plano-Concave (PCV) lenses have one flat and one inward curved surface. PCV lenses have a negative focal length and are used for image reduction or to spread light. | |
| Plano-convex lenses have a positive focal length. They are most suitable where one conjugate is more than five times the other, e.g. in sensor applications or for use with nearly... | |
| The achromatic lens consists of two or more elements, usually of crown and flint glass, such that the composite element has been corrected for chromatic aberration with respect to two... | |
| We deliver a broad range of plastic optics. When the materials are refined into lenses, prisms and mirrors, they serve the purpose of glass optics at lower cost and with... |
