SO-L01 SERIES
SO-L01 A-band plano-convex lenses combine K9 optical glass with a broadband antireflection coating optimized for 350-700 nm. They are a practical choice for visible imaging, white-light illumination, beam collimation and laboratory laser systems where lower surface reflection is needed across most of the visible spectrum.
Product Overview
Engineering Guidance
For a collimated input beam, orient the convex surface toward the incoming beam to reduce spherical aberration. Select the model by clear aperture, effective focal length, back focal length and available mounting depth; the coating is specified as average reflectance below 0.5% over its design band.
Use this A-band version for UV-visible and visible systems operating mainly between 350 and 700 nm. For near-infrared work, select the B-, C- or AB-coated SO-L01 series instead.
Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
