Excimer laser lens
CVI Melles Griot
* Beam handling, interferometers, material ablation & cutting systems
* Air-spaced fused silica design for high-energy or UV applications
* Use the 33-UVAP lens mount holder
CVI Melles Griot has designed this series of lenses for focusing large diameter excimer laser beams and for other monochromatic ultraviolet imaging applications. They are used in beam delivery systems for excimer laser photoablation and also in excimer and Raman-shifted-excimer LIDAR setups. This series should be considered whenever near diffraction limited performance in the ultraviolet is needed at a modest f/#.
At peak-to-valley wavefront error of <λ/4, these systems focus light within 80% of the diffraction limit. (The criterion we use is the wavefront error.)
