69-596 9.0mm Dia. x 22.0mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Laser V-Coat 1064nm

The 69-596 is a high-quality Plano-Convex spherical lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading global provider of optical components. This lens boasts a 9.0mm diameter and a focal length of 22.0mm, making it ideal for a wide range of applications that require precise focusing and beam shaping.

The lens is crafted from Schott's renowned N-BK7 glass, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion. This ensures superior light transmission and minimal chromatic aberration, making the lens suitable for use with a broad spectrum of wavelengths, specifically 1064nm in this case.

The 69-596 features a Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat (Plano) and the other side is curved (Convex). This design allows for efficient light gathering and focusing, making the lens particularly useful in laser applications. The lens has a center thickness of 1.93mm and an edge thickness of 1mm, providing robustness and durability.

The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' proprietary Laser V-Coat, designed specifically for 1064nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the optical system. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance from all angles.
