What is a Double Concave Lens?

 1. Introduction to double concave lens

A double concave lens is also called a negative spherical lens. The middle of the lens is thin, the edge is thick, and it is concave, so it is also called a concave lens, which has a divergent effect on light.

 

The imaging law of the concave lens is: when the object is a real object, it becomes an upright, reduced virtual image, and the image and the object are on the same side of the lens. The concave lens has a divergent effect on the light, so the lens is also called a divergent lens, a negative spherical lens.

 

2. Features of biconcave lens:

A double concave lens is concave on both sides and has the same radius of curvature. A double concave lens with a negative focal length is usually used for beam collimation, increasing (decreasing) the focal length or enlarging (shrink) the image.

 

The double concave lens has a negative focal length and is often used in imaging or beam collimation applications. The coated lens is also widely used in visible light and near-infrared applications.

 

Conventional lens sizes are: Φ12.7mm, Φ25.4mm, Φ50.8mm, and customized double convex lenses can be produced according to customer project requirements.
