The 65-462 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, with a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 48.0mm. This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 405nm, making it suitable for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, holography, and other laser-based systems.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with Edmund Optics' Las V-Coat 405, a coating specifically designed for use with 405nm lasers. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.76mm at the edge and 2.5mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, and the back focal length is 46.36mm. The lens's shape and geometry make it ideal for use in a variety of optical systems, including beam expanders, collimators, and focusing lenses.
