Knight Optrical’s Achromatic Doublet Lenses for Wind LiDAR

02 Nov 2020

As renewable technology markets grow so too does the demand for high-quality, dependable components. One division of the ever-evolving renewables market that relies on our excellence and second-to-none optics is the wind power sector. Our Achromatic Doublet Lenses have established themselves as a go-to for engineers and R&D professionals working on wind LiDAR applications, thanks to our broad optical knowledge and extensive component offering.

Our Achromatic Doublet Lenses play a leading role in enhancing the precision of wind LiDAR systems. Known for their ability to correct chromatic aberrations, usually associated with Singlet Lenses, these components adjust such optical hindrances providing distortion- and aberration-free optics for optimum accuracy within LiDAR systems.

Not only do we offer Achromatic Doublets as custom-made optics – allowing you to specify project-specific dimensions, tolerances, coatings and substrates – but we also stock a wide range of Doublets – from 4mm to 110mm in diameter – available for next-day dispatch. Our Achromatic Doublets are offered in two grades, 'Quality' and 'Commercial' (custom-only), and Cylindrical varieties as well as custom-made Achromatic Doublet Lens Sets.

Typical Specs:

Material: BK7 (or equivalent), SF11

Overall diameter tolerance: +0/-0.10mm

Focal length tolerance: ± 1.0%
