This is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as item number 32-967, boasts a 6mm diameter and a focal length of 18mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from the high-grade material, n-BK7 Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties. This material ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where optical quality is paramount.
The lens surfaces are coated with MgF2, a material known for its superior anti-reflective properties. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the 400-700nm wavelength range, reducing unwanted reflections and increasing transmission. The coating is applied using a standard curve, ensuring consistent performance across the lens surface.
The lens geometry is spherical, with a center thickness of 2.2mm and an edge thickness of 1.7mm. The inner and outer radii are not specified, indicating that they are likely not critical to the lens's performance in its intended application.
