The 69-555 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. Sourced from the renowned optical vendor Edmund Optics, this lens boasts a 12.0mm diameter and a focal length of 42.0mm, 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 high Abbe number and low dispersion. This makes the lens ideal for use in applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as laser systems, imaging systems, and beam shaping applications.
The lens features a Plano-Convex geometry, with a flat front surface and a curved back surface. This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making the lens ideal for use in systems that require a high level of light concentration. The lens has a thickness of 1.66mm at the edge and 40.22mm at the center, providing a balanced profile that ensures optimal performance.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 980, a highly durable coating designed for use with 980nm lasers. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission, ensuring that the maximum amount of light is directed into the system. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, providing comprehensive protection and enhancing the lens's overall performance.
