Plano-Convex Lens Orientation

Application ID: 131441


Light collimation or focusing is a basic task often needed when working with lasers in the lab where singlets are used due to their simplicity. If a plano-convex lens is used for the task, there is a correct lens orientation that minimizes aberrations. A useful rule-of-thumb is to minimize ray refraction at every surface which can be achieved by placing the lens with the curved side facing the collimated beam.
