All concave lenses diverge light, fused silica
concave lenses are particularly useful for the UV region.
Good quality BK7 glass concave lenses are used to diverge light
or sometimes to correct the image position in an optical system.
Plano Concave lenses have a negative focal length and the spherical
aberration introduced into the wavefront by a plano concave lens
is negative. As a result, it can be used to balance the positive
spherical aberration introduced by other lenses.
