The 32-000 18.0mm Dia. x 36.0mm FL Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, is a spherical lens of the plano-convex type, which means one side is flat while the other side is curved.
The lens has a diameter of 18.0mm and a center thickness of 3.57mm, with an edge thickness of 1.25mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 36.0mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 18.62mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 33.65mm, and the inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature.
This lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance or protect it from environmental factors. However, uncoated lenses can provide high-quality images, especially in applications where the light path is not significantly obstructed.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications. The lens is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, making it readily available for immediate use.
