Negative Meniscus Lens, N-BK7, Minimize Spherical Aberration Lens Overview: Negative meniscus (convex-concave) lens is designed to
minimize spherical aberration in optical systems. When used in
combination with another lens, a negative meniscus lens will
increase the focal length and decrease the numerical aperture (NA)
of the system without introducing significant spherical aberration.
When used to diverge light, the convex surface should face the beam
to minimize spherical aberration. Star Optic provides positive
meniscus lenses in a variety of substrates and anti-reflection
coating options.

Coating Options Of N-NK7 Negative Meniscus Lens: Star Optic's above standard negative meniscus lenses are
uncoated. In order to reduce the amount of light reflected from
each surface of the lens, antireflection coatings including singer
layer MgF2, multi-layer AR coating, Broadband multi-layer AR
coating and Dual wavelength AR coating are also available.
