Spherical lenses include plano-concave lenses, plano-convex lenses, biconvex lenses, biconcave lenses and meniscus lenses. In addition, achromatic lenses composed of plano-concave lenses and biconvex lenses are also widely used. In terms of application, optical components have great flexibility. According to different application environments and categories, optical engineers reasonably design the parameters of spherical lenses, including radius, focal length, optical materials and optical coatings. The optically designed spherical lenses mainly perform optical observation and measurement by converging or diverging light.
When designing spherical and achromatic lenses, optical engineers need to consider the optical materials used in the optical components. Optical glass, fused silica, sapphires and silicon are commonly used optical materials for spherical lenses. The transmission range, refractive index, chemical stability, optical uniformity and use coat of each optical material are considerations in optical design. According to the characteristics of optical materials and the needs of optical applications, optical engineers design reasonable sizes and optical coatings for spherical lenses.
