Lens types

LensProperty and application
Plano-Convex LensPositive focus length. Suitable when one conjugate is more than five times the other. Also where both conjugates are on the same side of the lens. It is widely used for emitter, detector and laser.
Double-Convex LensDouble-Convex lens are comprised of two convex spherical. Positive focus length. It is widely used for projection system, imaging system and laser measurement system.
Double-Concave LensNegative lens with the form suited to producing diverging light or a virtual image, where the input light is converging. It is widely used for laser expanding system.
Plano-Concave LensNegative lens with the form suitable where one conjugates is more than five times the other, e.g. producing divergent light from a collimated input beam. It is widely used for projection system, imaging system and laser measurement system.
