Optical Lenses Introduction

Spherical single lenses

Spherical single lenses are a good choice for many applications where aberrations are not very important because they are simple and inexpensive lens types. For simple applications, standard plano-convex lenses, plano-concave lenses, double-convex lenses, and double-concave lenses are sufficient.
For better performance, the contour of lenses are optimized, which can still maintaining a spherical surface when reduce aberrations.
The use of multiple lens components in a composite optical system can achieve additional performance improvements. These multicomponent optical systems often utilize meniscus lenses within them, although they are rarely used alone.
For very demanding applications, spherical single lenses will not perform as well as achromatic lenses (for both broadband and monochromatic sources) or aspherical lenses (for monochromatic sources).

Standard Single Lenses

A variety of basic single-lens designs: Plano-convex, Double-Convex Lenses, Plano-concave, and Double-concave Lenses. Each of these lenses is suitable for a different application.

Plano-convex and Double-Convex Lenses are positive lenses (i.e., they have a positive focal length) that focus collimated light to a point, while Plano-concave and Double-concave Lenses are negative lenses that diverge collimated light.

The shape of each single lens makes the aberrations smaller for a specific conjugation ratio, which defined as the ratio of object distance to image distance (they are called conjugation distance).

Plano-convex Lenses

Plano-convex lenses are suitable for situations where one conjugate distance is more than five times that of the other. The properties of this lens shape are suitable for situations with infinite conjugate ratios (collimation of focused or point sources).

Plano-convex Lenses

Plano-convex Lenses are suitable for situations where one conjugate distance is 0.2 to 5 times that of the other. The performance of this lens shape is suitable for the same distance between objects and images.

Plano-concave Lenses

Plano-concave lenses are suitable for situations where one conjugate distance is more than five times that of the other. They introduce negative spherical aberrations and can be used to balance the spherical aberrations introduced by a single lens with a positive focal length.

Double-Concave Lenses

Double-Concave Lenses have a negative focal length and are often used to increase the divergence of converged light.

How to minimize the spherical aberrations?

To minimize spherical aberrations, the lens should be placed making the greater curvature surface to orient the further conjugate points.

For Plano-convex and Plano-concave lenses used with an infinite conjugate ratio, this means that the surface should be oriented towards the collimated beam (as shown in the figure above).

f of a lens is defined as the focal length divided by the aperture diameter, which has a significant effect on the degree of aberration.

A lens with a smaller f (a "fast" lens) introduces significantly more aberrations than a lens with a larger f (a "slow" lens).

Lens shape becomes important when f is below about f/10, and other lenses (such as achromatic and aspherical lenses) that can replace spherical single lenses with f below about f/2 should be considered.

Best Form Lenses

Best Form Lenses are designed to minimize spherical aberrations and comas (aberrations introduced by light not on the optical axis) while still using the sphere surface to form the lens.
The spherical design makes these best form lenses easier to manufacture than aspherical lenses, reducing costs.
Each surface of the best form lens is polished to give it a different radius of curvature, providing better performance for a spherical single lens.
For small-diameter input beams, contour lenses even have diffraction properties.
These lenses are often used in high-power applications where achromatic bonded lenses cannot be used.

Shaped-lenses

Shaped lenses are designed to minimize spherical aberrations and comas, while still using the sphere surface to form the lens. These lenses are optimized for infinitesimally large conjugate ratios and are well suited for focusing collimating beams or collimating point sources.

Spherical Aberrations and Comas VS. Front surface curvature

The diagram is a plot of the coma and spherical aberrations with the curvature of the front of the lens (curvature is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature). The minimum spherical aberration almost coincides with the zero coma handicap; The curvature at which this minimum occurs is key to the "shape" design.

Meniscus and multicomponent lens systems

Meniscus lenses are commonly used in multicomponent optical systems to modify the focal length without introducing significant spherical aberrations. The optical performance of a multicomponent lens system is usually significantly better than a single lens. In these systems, the aberrations introduced by one component can be corrected by subsequent optical components. These lenses have a convex surface and a concave surface, and they can be positive or negative lenses.

Positive-meniscus Lense

Positive meniscus lenses are usually used with another lens in composite optical assemblies. When used in this structure, positive meniscus lenses shorten the focal length and increase the numerical aperture (NA) of the system without introducing significant spherical aberrations.

Negative-meniscus Lense

Positive meniscus lenses are usually used with another lens in composite optical assemblies. When used in this structure, a positive meniscus lens increases the focal length and reduces the numerical aperture (NA) of the system without introducing significant spherical aberrations.

Figure 1 shows the performance improvements that can be achieved with a multicomponent lens system.

A single Plano-convex lens with a focal length of 100mm produces a spot size of 240μm (Figure 1a). In addition, a single lens produces a spherical aberration of 2.2mm, defined as the distance between the focus margin (the beam is at the edge of the lens focus) and the paraxial focus (the light is in the middle of the lens focus).

By combining two Plano-convex lenses with a focal length of 100mm, the effective focal length is 50mm, the focused spot size is reduced to 81μm, and the spherical aberration is reduced to 0.8mm (Figure 1b).

However, a better way is to combine a convex lens of f = 100mm with a positive meniscus lens of f = 100mm. Figure 1c shows the results: the focused spot size is reduced to 21μm, and the spherical aberration is reduced to 0.3mm.

Note that the convex surfaces of the two lenses should face away from the imaging point.

When to choose an achromatic lens

Achromatic lenses are a good choice for any demanding optical application because they offer substantially better performance than spherical single lenses.

Achromatic double-bonded lenses are sufficient for most infinite conjugation applications, and double-bonded lenses are an ideal choice for finite conjugation.

However, the adhesives used in these optical components reduce their damage thresholds and limit their availability in high-power systems.

Air-spaced double lenses are ideal for high-power applications because they have a larger damage threshold than achromatic glued lenses.

In addition, an air-spaced double lens has two more design variables than a double-glued lens because the inner surface of the lens does not need to have the same curvature. These additional variables make the air-spaced double lens far better than the double-bonded lens in terms of transmission wavefront error, spot size, and aberration. However, air-spaced double lenses are also more expensive than double-glued lenses.

Achromatic triplet lenses can be designed for both finite and infinite conjugate ratios. In the middle of these triplet lenses is a low-index optical element that is glued between two identical high-index external optical elements. They are capable of correcting both axial and transverse chromatic aberrations, and their symmetrical design provides better performance than glued double lenses.

Double-glued Lens

Achromatic double-bonded lenses have much more advantages over simple single lenses. They include reduced chromatic aberration, improved off-axis performance, and smaller focal spots. These double lenses have a positive focal length and are optimized for infinite conjugate ratio.

Air-spaced Double Lens

Air-spaced double lenses perform better than double-bonded lenses, because their lenses are separated. These optics components are ideal choice for high-power applications because they have a larger damage threshold than double-bonded lenses. These lenses have a positive focal length and are optimized for infinite conjugate ratios.

Double-glued Lens Pairs

Achromatic doublet pairs have the advantages of achromatic lenses while being optimized for finite conjugation. These lens pairs are ideal choice for image relay and magnification systems.

Achromatic-triplet Lenses

Achromatic triplet lenses perform better than achromatic doublets. An achromatic triplet lens is a simple lens that can corrects for all major chromatic aberrations. The Steinheil triplet lens is optimized for finite conjugate ratio, while the Hastings triplet lens is optimized for infinite conjugate ratio.
