SO-L01 SERIES
SO-L01 C-band plano-convex lenses use an antireflection coating designed for 1050-1700 nm. This range supports 1064 nm laser setups as well as short-wave infrared and telecom-adjacent optical assemblies where a K9 lens is suitable and lower near-infrared surface loss is required.
Product Overview
Engineering Guidance
The positive focal length makes the lens suitable for focusing a collimated beam or collimating light from a compact source. Confirm substrate transmission at the exact operating wavelength, and use the listed back focal length and center thickness when defining detector, fiber or housing positions.
Select the C-band coating for systems concentrated above 1050 nm. For broadband visible-to-NIR instruments, the AB-coated version provides the more appropriate wavelength coverage.
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
Technical Resources
Selection notes and practical guidance matched to this product family.
Relate effective focal length, back focal length and lens orientation to focusing and collimation performance.
Compare transmission, thermal behavior and cost before choosing a substrate for a precision lens.
Use geometric and surface specifications to confirm optical fit, mounting depth and expected image quality.
