BK7 Double Concave Lenses
Description
The BK7 Double Concave Lens (DCV) is a specialized optical component designed to diverge parallel light beams. Similar to the plano concave lens, the double concave lens features a negative focal length, resulting in the dispersion of light rays. With both sides possessing the same radius of curvature, these lenses are crucial for applications requiring controlled light divergence and dispersion.
