The BE15M-A 15X Galilean Beam Expander provides an ideal solution for expanding or reducing beam diameters. This beam expander has been designed to minimize the telescope length, minimize the introduced wavefront error (<λ/4), and provide diffraction-limited performance (for <Ø1 mm input). The design incorporates a plano-concave singlet to provide the desired divergence and a doublet, which has been computer optimized to balance aberrations and re-collimate the beam. The rotary barrel controls adjustment of the diverging lens with graduations in 50 µm increments. This product is offered with an A (350-650 nm) broadband antireflection coating.
