11-718 12.7mm Diameter x 300mm FL; Uncoated; Ultrafast Thin PCX Lens
The 11-718 is a high-performance spherical lens, specifically a Plano-Convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 12.7mm diameter and a focal length of 300mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise optical control.
The lens is uncoated, offering a bare, unaltered glass surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the introduction of a coating might interfere with the desired optical properties. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to surface reflections and may not perform as well in high-light conditions.
The lens material is UVFS Mal-1965, a type of glass known for its excellent optical properties. The lens has a center thickness of 1.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.354mm, providing a robust yet compact design. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens surface.
The wavelength of this lens is 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications involving visible light, such as photography, machine vision, and scientific research.
