Features- Ø1/4", Ø1/2", or Ø1" Unmounted Achromatic Triplets
- Steinhel Design for Finite Conjugate Ratios
- Hastings Design for Infinite Conjugate Ratios
- AR Coated for the 400 - 700 nm Range (Ravg < 0.5%)
- Excellent Aberration Compensation
An achromatic triplet is the simplest lens that corrects all primary chromatic aberrations. Thorlabs' Steinhel achromatic triplets are designed to provide a finite conjugate ratio and 1:1 imaging. In contrast, our Hastings triplets provide an infinite conjugate ratio and are useful for focusing collimated beams and for magnification. These triplets consist of a low index center element cemented between two identical high index outer elements (see Specs tab) and feature good on-axis and off-axis performance. Mounted versions are also available. The shaded area in the reflectivity plot to the right indicates the region over which the antireflection coating is optimized.
