Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons
Photo by Edmund Optics<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Optical components provider\u00a0Edmund Optics (EO) introduces new Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons. The specialized conical prisms\u00a0features specialized conical prisms \u00a0one concave conical surface and one plano surface. They are used in laser material processing to create a ring-shaped image along the optical axis, as well as to create a non-diffractive approximation of a Bessel beam. As opposed to Gaussian beams, which deteriorate over distance, Bessel beams maintain an unchanged transversal distribution as they propagate.<\/p>\n

Use with Plano-Convex (PCX) Axicons to control ring diameter<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons are used with Plano-Convex (PCX) Axicons, the diameter of the Bessel beam can be controlled by the separation between the two Axicons. This feature is ideal for ablating corneal material in surgical procedures. Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons are excellent for measurement and alignment, research, as well as medical and life science applications that require a ring shaped laser output.<\/p>\n

Apex angles from 90\u00b0 to 175\u00b0 are available<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons are available in twelve different 25.4 mm diameter models. Apex angles of 90\u00b0, 130\u00b0, 140\u00b0, 160\u00b0, 170\u00b0 and 175\u00b0 are offered with either a VIS 0\u00b0 coating or a NIR I coating. All Plano-Concave (PCV) Axicons models are in-stock and available for immediate delivery for fast turnaround and excellent value.<\/p>\n
