The MF-px-12.7-50 is a 12.7 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, offering a focal length of 50.8mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. This lens is sourced from Alkor Technologies, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2), a material with a refractive index of 1.38, which is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its excellent transparency across a broad spectrum, including the ultraviolet region. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 2mm at the edge and 3mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 20.22mm. The lens is spherical in shape, which is a common choice for many optical systems due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility.
This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 266nm, making it suitable for applications such as laser systems, spectroscopy, and interferometry. The uncoated nature of the lens means it is best suited for applications where minimal reflection and high transmission are required.
