Collimating lens

THz lenses

For THz beam guiding between the emitter and detector we offer hyperhemispherical and elliptic silicon lenses and aspheric TPX lenses with different diameter and focal length.

Silicon lenses

> HSL-12-7.1 - Hyperhemispheric silicon lens

The hyperhemispherical silicon substrate lens ensures a large solid angle Ω= 1.25 sr for the THz radiation in combination with a GaAs PCA chip.
Because this lens delivers a divergent THz beam it must be collimated by an additional lens.

Special TPX lenses for PCA from BATOP

Using highly transmissive TPX (Polymethylpentene) lenses the THz beam can be shaped.
One TPX lens can collimate the divergent THz beam coming from a hyperhemispherical substrate lens.
With a second TPX lens a sharp THz focus can be realized.
1" diameter TPX lenses can be mounted easily onto a PCA with hyperhemispherical silicon lens,
