This is a Ge-px-13.8-15 13.8 mm Dia. Germanium Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from Alkor Technologies. The lens, with a diameter of 13.8 mm, is designed for use in optical systems that require a focal length of 15mm.
The lens is made of Germanium burnett, a material known for its excellent optical properties, particularly in the infrared region of the spectrum. The wavelength of this lens is 10600, making it suitable for applications that require transmission in the near-infrared range.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a plano-convex geometry. The base shape is circular, and the lens has an inner radius of 0 and an outer radius of 0. The thickness at the edge of the lens is 0.97, while the thickness at the center is 1.5.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. This may affect its performance in certain applications, particularly those requiring high transmission or low reflectivity. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain situations, such as when cost is a major factor or when the lens will be used in a system with its own coating.
According to the vendor, this lens is in stock and available for immediate purchase. More information about this lens, including pricing and delivery details, can be found on the Alkor Technologies website.
