Double-concave lens, also named bi-concave or symmetric-concave lens, with two concave surfaces with identical radii, is used to diverge the collimated incident light and is best to use with the divergent incident light. A reduced sized virtual image will be seen through this lens. The materials can be BK7 or UV-grade synthetic fused silica. It is commonly used to expand light or increase focal length in optical systems. Bi-concave lenses are good to use on many devices of optical display/imaging systems and beam expanders etc. AR or NIR coatings can be order for specific applications.
