88-966 5.0mm Dia. x 15.0mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Laser V-Coat 405nm
This is a 5.0mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a focal length of 15.0mm, specifically designed for use with a 405nm laser and featuring a V-coat. The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low auto-fluorescence. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is ideal for collimating or focusing light. The lens has a center thickness of 1.6mm and an edge thickness of 1.19mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a low profile.
The lens features a V-coat on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for 405nm lasers. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission. The coating is applied by Edmund Optics using their EDM Las V-Coat 405 process, ensuring high-quality and consistent results.
The lens's spherical shape allows for efficient light gathering and focusing, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens's geometry is defined by an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a simple, straightforward design.
