The 34-092 12mm Dia. x 100mm FL UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 532nm wavelength laser applications. This lens is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, ensuring reliability and performance.
The lens features a spherical design, specifically a Plano-Convex shape, which is characterized by a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. This design is ideal for laser applications, as it minimizes spherical aberration and distortion, thereby enhancing image quality. The lens has a diameter of 12mm and a focal length of 100mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2.05mm at the edge and 2.44mm at the center. The back focal length (BFL) is 98.33mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 100mm. The lens is made from fused silica (mal-1965), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmittance and resistance to thermal shock.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 532, which is specifically designed for 532nm laser applications. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the laser system.
