The 65-503 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, 12.0mm in diameter and featuring a 60.0mm focal length. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics and is designed for use with a 633nm wavelength, making it suitable for a range of applications in the visible light spectrum.
The lens is constructed from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material ensures high-quality imaging and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens features a Plano-Convex geometry, with a flat front surface and a curved back surface. This design is often used to collimate or focus light, making it ideal for beam shaping applications.
The lens has a center thickness of 2.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.91mm, providing a robust and durable construction. The back focal length (BFL) is 58.37mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 60mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a symmetrical curvature.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 633, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for high transmission and low reflectance at the specified wavelength. This coating ensures optimal performance and reduces unwanted reflections, enhancing the lens's suitability for laser applications.
