Lithium Fluoride Plano-Concave Lens

Product Overview
The lithium fluoride plano-concave lens is a high-performance optical element made from lithium fluoride crystal, featuring a plano-concave shape (one flat surface and one concave spherical surface). This lens is designed to introduce negative spherical aberration, commonly used for beam expansion, focal length extension, and optical system aberration correction. Due to its excellent optical properties, the lithium fluoride plano-concave lens provides good transmission and reflection in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands, making it highly applicable in high-standard optical systems. The high hardness and excellent optical performance of lithium fluoride make this lens suitable for high-precision imaging systems such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.
