This is the LP01-25-100 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from CeNing Optics. The lens, which has a diameter of 25.4 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, thanks to its precise geometry and high-quality materials.
The lens is a Plano-Convex type, meaning it has one flat surface and one curved surface. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 51.88 mm, which is measured from the center of the lens to the edge of the curved surface. This curvature, combined with the lens's thickness, gives the lens an effective focal length (EFL) of 100 mm.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The lens's geometry is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 546.1 nm.
Notably, this particular lens is uncoated. While coatings can be applied to lenses to reduce reflections, improve transmission, or add other properties, this lens is left in its natural state. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a natural lens surface is desired.
The lens's geometry data also includes the edge and center thickness. The edge thickness is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 3.58 mm. This information can be useful when calculating the lens's optical power or when designing the mechanical components of an optical system.
