Spherical Lens
Precision Spherical Lenses for Focusing, Imaging & Beam Shaping
Lens Types: Plano-Convex / Plano-Concave / Bi-Convex / Bi-Concave / Meniscus
Customization: Diameter • Focal Length • Curvature • Coating • Edge / Mount
What Is a Spherical Lens?
A spherical lens is an optical lens with spherical surface curvature used to focus, collimate, expand or shape light beams in optical systems.
It is widely applied in:
Laser systems (beam shaping / focusing)
Imaging and vision optics
Illumination and projection modules
Sensors and measurement systems
Common Spherical Lens Types
Plano-Convex (PCX): best for focusing collimated light
Plano-Concave (PCV): beam expansion / divergence control
Bi-Convex (BCX): strong focusing in compact systems
Bi-Concave (BCV): expand beams / reduce focal length
Meniscus Lens: improved aberration control in imaging
If you’re unsure which type to choose, we can recommend based on your optical layout.
