VIS-EXT Coated Plano-Concave (PCV) Lenses

Any of our lenses with a diameter of 5mm or greater can be specified with blackened edges. To specify the blackening, simply append a –INK to the BBAR coated stock number.

  • AR Coated to Provide <0.5% Reflectance per Surface for 350 - 700nm
  • Designed for 0° Angle of Incidence
  • Negative Focal Lengths for Beam Expansion or Light Projection Applications
  • Additional AR Coating Options Available: Uncoated, MgF2, VIS 0°, VIS-NIR, YAG-BBAR, NIR I, and NIR II

TECHSPEC® VIS-EXT Coated Plano-Concave (PCV) Lenses are designed to bend parallel input rays to diverge from one another on the output side of the lens causing this lens to have a negative focal length. These lenses can be used for balancing aberrations created by other lenses within a system due to their negative spherical aberration. Plano-Concave (PCV) lenses are commonly used in a variety of applications including image reduction, beam expansion and telescopes. TECHSPEC® VIS-EXT Coated Plano-Concave (PCV) Lenses offer optimal performance in the 350nm to 700nm range. These lenses are also available Uncoated, MgF2, VIS 0°, VIS-NIR, YAG-BBAR, NIR I, and NIR II coating options.
