n general, there are two types of focusing CO2 laser lenses: Plano convex lenses which have one convex surface (convex = dome-like curvature) and one flat surface, and meniscus lenses which have one convex surface and one concave surface (concave = hollow curvature). In most CO2 laser cutting machines, meniscus lenses are used because they produce a smaller focus diameter. In some CO2 laser machines, CO2 laser lenses type plano-convex are used because their production costs are a little bit lower.
