The Si-px-38.1-63 is a Plano-Convex Spherical 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 its high-quality optical elements. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties.
The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 63.5 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the point where the light rays converge or diverge. This makes it a medium to long-focus lens, ideal for applications that require a moderate magnification or a larger field of view.
The lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.2 mm at the center. This asymmetry is typical of Plano-Convex lenses, which have one flat surface and one curved surface. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 154.17 mm, which is the distance from the center of the curved surface to its edge.
The lens is made of silicon, specifically silicon sal vil 1957, which is a type of silicon commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent physical and optical properties. The lens can handle wavelengths of up to 10600 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including infrared and laser systems.
