Newport MKS Plano-Convex Lens, Fused Silica, 25.4 mm, 250 mm EFL, AR.3 coated SPX029AR.3

The SPX029AR.3 High Energy Fused Silica Lens is an AR.3 coated (at 355 nm), 1 inch (25.4 mm) diameter plano-convex lens with an effective focal length of 250.0 mm at 546.1 nm. It is designed for high frequency laser pulses where standard grade fused silica does not perform very well. These lenses feature Heraeus Suprasil® 300 high‑purity synthetic fused silica substrates. Suprasil 300 is manufactured by flame hydrolysis and is characterized by ultra‑low metallic impurities (<1 ppm) and an exceptionally low OH content (<1 ppm), resulting in no absorption bands from the visible to the infrared spectral region. This significantly reduces bulk absorption and minimizes the risk of internal damage under high‑energy laser exposure.
