Aspherical Fizeau lenses
Customer Reference
Project Details
The measuring ranges of spherical Fizeau lenses are often limited by their input beam diameter. To increase the measuring range, additional adapters or beam expanders are required, smaller diameters usually cannot be covered at all. For a leading international manufacturer of measurement technology asphericon has developed aspherical Fizeau lenses which counteract these problems and are easy to handle.
Project Realisation
- Innovative lens design with aspherical surfaces, reduced number of lenses and a real 4″ system input
- Intrinsic expansion allows larger diameter of the initial aperture
- Selected spacing of the Fizeau radii allows coverage of a large measuring range
