Multi-Element Lenses - IDEX Optical Technologies

Multi-element lenses are used when a singlet lens cannot fulfill the needed optical function due to aberration or wavefront distortion, or when more complex optical transformation is required, like beam resizing. CVI Laser Optics’ multi-element lenses offer optimized beam quality and tight focal spots, often with near diffraction limited performance. We carry a broad selection of standard focal lengths and aperture diameters, with various design wavelengths and corrections, as well as high energy options, serving a wide range of collimating, focusing, and imaging applications in the UV to NIR range.

Our cemented achromats are available in both standard and laser grades. This allows you to find the right solution, depending on your surface quality, wavefront, power handling and cost requirements. All have been corrected for spherical aberration and coma to deliver the best performance possible. 

If you’re ready to take the next step in your OEM product development, or simply require specialized optics for a demanding application, we can work with you to create a custom multielement lens assembly or system. Please contact us to determine the appropriate design to meet your needs.
