Dear asphericon customer
Handy, compact, the most important information at a glance:
you are currently holding the new catalog for asphericon‘s range
of Standard Precision Aspheres (asphericon SPA™) in your hands.
Besides aspheric optical elements, in this edition we are also
presenting the SPA™ Beam Expander Kit consisting of SPA™ Beam
Expanders, SPA™ Waveλdapt and SPA™ Adapters (page 05). Thanks
to easy handling and diffraction-limited design, the world’s first
monolithic and aspheric beam expansion system will provide you
with absolutely precise and flexible assistance during your everyday
laboratory work.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or place your order
quickly and easily in our webshop!
With kind regards
Your asphericon team

Quick Guide:
Why to choose an
aspheric solution?
In comparison to spherical lenses SPA™
Standard Precision Aspheres perform
with minimal foci and show outstanding
imaging characteristics (see fig. 1).
If SPA™ standard quality is not sufficient
for your high-end application asphericon
offers diffraction-limited aspheric lenses.
Compared with the SPA™ line they gene-
rate an even better spot size (fig. 2).
Finally, both standard quality and
diffraction-limited quality convince with
an outstanding surface form deviation
(fig. 3).
Choose all SPA™ lenses with standard
quality out of this catalog and order
online. If quality at the diffraction limit
is needed a customized solution will be
offered (see page 17).

Spot sizes from both lenses differ significantly:
4000 µm (Sphere) vs. 2 µm (Asphere)
Spherical lenses produce improper foci and spherical aberrations
asphericon SPA™ Standard lenses (HPX-S) stand out with
minimal foci to maximize intensity.
