This 32-473 Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle. It is designed with a diameter of 6.0mm and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 0.92mm and a thickness center of 1.42mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 18.0mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 9.3mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 17.07mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm.
Please note that the lens is uncoated, which means it may not perform optimally in certain environments or applications that require specific coatings to manage issues like reflection, dispersion, or absorption.
