UV Light Lens – High-Performance Optics for Ultraviolet Applications
What is a UV Light Lens?
A UV light lens is designed to transmit and focus ultraviolet (UV) light. These lenses are essential for applications requiring high UV transmission, such as UV imaging, sterilization, fluorescence detection, and laser processing. Standard optical glass absorbs UV light, so specialized materials are used to ensure optimal performance in UV wavelengths.
UV Light Lens Applications
UV lenses are widely used in different industries, including:
✔ UV Imaging – Capturing high-resolution images in ultraviolet wavelengths.
✔ Medical & Sterilization – Used in disinfection systems and medical instruments.
✔ Fluorescence Microscopy – Enhancing contrast for biological and chemical analysis.
✔ Industrial Inspection – Detecting surface defects and material properties.
✔ Laser Systems – Focusing and directing UV laser beams for precision work.
UV Light Lens Materials
UV lenses require specialized materials to ensure high transmission in the 200nm to 400nm range. Below is a comparison of common UV lens materials:
| Material | Wavelength Range | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Fused Silica | 180nm – 2500nm | High UV transmission, excellent thermal stability |
| Calcium Fluoride (CaF₂) | 200nm – 8000nm | Low dispersion, high damage threshold |
| UV-Grade Quartz | 190nm – 2500nm | Superior durability, high transmission in deep UV |
| Sapphire (Al₂O₃) | 200nm – 5000nm | Extremely hard, scratch-resistant |
We offer custom UV lenses made from these materials to meet your specific requirements.
Types of UV Light Lenses
There are various types of UV lenses, each designed for specific applications:
| Lens Type | Description |
|---|---|
| UV Plano-Convex Lenses | Focuses UV light into a small point, commonly used in laser systems. |
| UV Plano-Concave Lenses | Expands UV beams, useful for collimation applications. |
| UV Aspheric Lenses | Reduces spherical aberrations for high-precision UV imaging. |
| UV Cylindrical Lenses | Shapes UV beams into lines for scanning and laser processing. |
