The 65-511 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. This lens, sourced from the renowned vendor Edmund Optics, boasts a 6.0mm diameter and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it suitable for systems that require a long focal length.
The lens is crafted from the high-grade material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. This material ensures the lens delivers sharp, clear images with minimal distortion.
The 65-511 features a Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat (Plano) and the other side is curved (Convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making it ideal for use in laser systems and other applications where precise light control is necessary.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Las V-Coat 785, a specialized coating designed to enhance performance at the 785nm wavelength. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission, ensuring optimal light passage through the lens.
