LightPath Introduces Molded Aspheric Collimating Lens for MWIR Laser Diodes

Jan 21 2008

LightPath Technologies is introducing a new aspheric molded lens for collimating light from MWIR, such as quantum cascade lasers (QCL). The 390035 lens expands the range of LightPath Technologies Infrared Aspheric Lens product line to specifically target lasers with a wavelength between 2 microns and 5 microns.

This lens is manufactured from LightPath's Black Diamond(TM) IR Glass and has a high numerical aperture designed for maximum light collection from quantum cascade lasers. The aspheric design enables a single lens to replace complex multiple component optical system. Anti-Reflective coatings are available for the MWIR (1.8 microns -- 3 microns and 3 microns -- 5 microns).

Quantum Cascade Lasers are used for a variety of applications including homeland security, biomedical analysis, and chemical detection.

LightPath Technologies Inc. will be exhibiting the MWIR/LWIR Collimating Lenses in Booth 632 at SPIE 2008 Photonics West Conference in San Jose, California, January 22nd through January 24th.
