The 84-268 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, a type of optical lens with one side flat and the other side curved outwards. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasts a diameter of 50.0mm and a focal length of 50.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is crafted from n-SF11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent optical properties. This material is known for its low auto-fluorescence, making it ideal for use in laser applications. The lens has a central thickness of 12mm and an edge thickness of 3mm, providing robustness and durability.
The 84-268 features a V-coat designed for 1550nm, a common wavelength for optical communications. This coating enhances the lens's performance in laser applications, reducing reflection and increasing transmission. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance from all angles.
