ABSTRACT:
An aspherical planoconvex lens (20), containing a material with a refractive index of at least 3.0, in which the height (h) of the convex region (21) is a maximum of one fifth of the thickness (1) of the lens (20). Also disclosed is a laser assembly incorporating such a lens and a method for the manufacture of such a laser assembly.
