High-index planoconvex laser lenses Lenses in high-index glass (n=1.785) have only 55% of the spherical aberration of equivalent BK7 lenses, and can be very efficiently AR coated with single-layer coating. Beam expanders etc. can therefore be made with diffraction-limited performance and very high transmittance, and suitable for high powers, having no cemented interfaces.
