The Si-px-38.1-500 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 38.1 mm, 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 uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance or alter its optical properties.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 500mm, a key parameter that determines the lens's magnification power. This makes it a medium to long-range lens, ideal for applications that require a narrow field of view and high magnification. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 2mm at the edge and 2.2mm at the center, providing a robust structure that can withstand typical handling and usage.
The lens is made of silicon, specifically silicon sal vil 1957, a material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is transparent to infrared light with a wavelength of 10600nm, making this lens suitable for applications in this spectrum. The lens's shape is spherical, a common and versatile geometry in optical systems.
