The 88-897 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens has a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 25.4mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a thickness of 2.43mm at the edge and 7mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 25.4mm.
The lens is made from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions. This makes the lens ideal for use in applications where high resolution and contrast are required, such as in imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The lens features a YAG-BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, which stands for Yttrium Aluminum Garnet - Broad Band Anti-Reflection, is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission over a broad spectrum, specifically from 500 to 1100nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in applications where high transmission is required, such as in laser systems and broadband optical systems.
