Silicon Plano Convex (PCX) Lenses

Silicon Plano Convex (PCX) Lenses are plano-convex lenses based on silicon.

Silicon is a commonly used optical glass material in the infrared band, with a transmission band of 1.2-8.0μm. Silicon has high thermal conductivity. It can be used as a substrate for a variety of optical components, such as lenses, windows, etc. It is often used in near-infrared and mid-infrared applications, and is also suitable for infrared imaging, terahertz imaging, medical, military and other applications. Plano-convex lenses focus light into a point. It is characterized by a positive focal length, one side is flat and the other side is convex. It is often used for aiming and focusing monochromatic light sources. When in use, the convex surface is facing the incident light. Silicon plano-convex lenses combined with other lenses can be used for different applications such as beam shaping, beam collimation, beam expansion, and beam reduction.

The XIEYI CRYO CHILLER is essential for quickly evacuating vacuum chambers for production applications. In addition to speeding up the elimination of water vapor molecules in the chamber, it also reduces the vacuum base pressure and improves the quality of vacuum coatings in many applications. Using an appropriately sized XIEYI Water vapor pump to increase the surface area of the copper or stainless steel coils can increase the yield.
