69-550 12.0mm Dia. x 15.0mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Laser V-Coat 980nm

The 69-550 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, a type of optical lens with one side flat and the other side curved outwards, supplied by Edmund Optics. This lens has a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 15.0mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications that require a compact, high-performance lens.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This material ensures high transmission in the visible and near-infrared regions, making it ideal for use in laser applications.

The 69-550 features a laser-optimized V-coat coating on both the front and back surfaces at a wavelength of 980nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system.

The lens has a thickness of 1.66mm at the edge and 12.03mm at the center, providing a robust structure and ensuring excellent optical performance. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a simple, straightforward design that is easy to integrate into various optical systems.
