Melles Griot Collimation and Focusing Lens Mounted 06GLC002

🔍 What It Is

• It’s a collimating (or collimating/focusing) lens designed to manage the beam from a laser or optical source.

• Specifically, the 06GLC002 model is optimized for ~830 nm wavelength (near‑infrared), a common wavelength for diode lasers.

📈 Key Optical Specs (typical for 06GLC002)

• Design wavelength: 830 nm

• Focal length: ~8.0 mm

• Numerical Aperture (NA): ~0.50

• Clear aperture: ~8 mm

• Working distance: ~1.13 mm

• Wavefront distortion: ~λ/4

• Physical size: ~14.3 mm diameter, ~10.8 mm length

🧰 Typical Use Cases

This type of lens is used to:

• Collimate light from diode lasers or fiber outputs into a parallel beam.

• Focus beams for coupling into other optics or fibers.

• Integrate into compact optical systems, sensors, measurement setups, or laser modules where near‑infrared optics are needed.
