The 34-061 5mm Dia. x 15mm FL UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 405nm wavelength light sources. This lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a plano-convex geometry, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
The lens features a 5mm diameter and a 15mm focal length (FL), offering a substantial working distance while maintaining a compact form factor. The edge thickness and center thickness are both 1.7mm, ensuring consistent performance across the entire lens surface. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is also 15mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmission rate in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, making it suitable for UV applications. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a flat surface on the lens's entry side and a curved surface on the exit side.
The 34-061 lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 405, a specialized coating designed for use with 405nm lasers. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission.
