The 34-106 5mm Dia. x 10mm FL UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for use with laser systems operating at a wavelength of 633nm. This lens is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for purchase directly from their website.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved. This design is common in optical systems due to its ability to focus light efficiently. The lens has a diameter of 5mm and a focal length of 10mm, indicated by the 'FL' in its name. The edge thickness of the lens is 2mm, and the center thickness is also 2mm, providing a robust structure for handling and integration into optical systems.
The lens is made from fused silica, specifically identified as 'fused sil mal-1965' in the item data. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide range of wavelengths and high resistance to thermal shock and mechanical stress.
The lens features a vacuum-deposited coating, specifically the 'edm las v-coat 633' coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in laser applications, improving transmission and reducing reflections. The coating is specifically tailored for use with a 633nm laser, ensuring optimal performance in its intended application.
