Is this AR coated for 650nm?

If it is the same glass lens that you can buy from Aixiz, then yes, it is coated for 650nm. It does look the same, but I don't necessarily trust that it does indeed have a glass lens at that price. The lens by itself costs $5 from Aixiz.. I'd recommend getting the lens from Aixiz if you want to be sure it's AR coated.

OEM Laser Systems Inc. is a highly respected company. FrothyChimp works there. Their lasers are top notch! The price does sound fishy though :-/

Yeah, this is it: http://cgi.ebay.com/Plastic-Collima..._Components_Supplies_ET?hash=item350117036998


It's the best cheap lens for reds. But don't try to use it in an overdriven blu ray, cos you'll kill it on the spot! It cuts the power in half, by increasing reflections with the 650nm coating.

This gives you a higher power than regular acrylics or the triple element glass lenses, but not as high as lens #2 from the good aspheres...

Unfortunatelly shipping costs more than the lens, and if you buy 10, it doesn't change.. And once you get them dirty, you basically need a new one. That's the drawback with plastic lenses..[/quote]
