The 67-973 is a laser grade plano-convex lens, boasting a diameter of 25mm and a focal length of 38mm, specifically designed for use with a 1064nm wavelength. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component, ideal for a wide range of applications.
The lens is constructed from fused silica (mal-1965), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The lens has a center thickness of 7.25mm and an edge thickness of 1.96mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form factor.
The 67-973 lens features a front and back coating of edm las v-coat 1064, designed to enhance its performance in laser applications. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission, ensuring optimal light propagation through the lens. The coating is specifically tailored for use with a 1064nm wavelength, making this lens an excellent choice for Nd:YAG lasers and other similar applications.
