The 87-606 is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, a type of optical lens with one side planar and the other side curved, offering a variety of advantages in optical systems. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasts a diameter of 15.0mm and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is crafted from n-SF5 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and chemical resistance. This material makes the lens durable and reliable, ensuring optimal performance in various environments.
The 87-606 features a laser-coated front and back surface with Edmund Optics' V-Coat 633, a specialized coating designed for 633nm wavelengths. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission, making it ideal for laser applications.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.4mm at the edge and 4.0mm at the center, providing a balanced structure for efficient light transmission. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 18.0mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 15.61mm, which are crucial specifications for designing and integrating the lens into optical systems.
