The 34-124 50mm Dia. x 75mm FL UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 633nm wavelength light sources. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a plano-convex geometry, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens boasts a diameter of 50mm and a focal length of 75mm, offering a generous working distance and a wide field of view. The plano-convex design features a flat front surface and a curved back surface, which helps to minimize spherical aberration and distortion, thereby enhancing image quality. The lens has a thickness of 1.72mm at the edge and 12.5mm at the center, providing excellent rigidity and stability.
The lens is crafted from fused silica, a material known for its exceptional optical properties, including high transparency, low autofluorescence, and excellent chemical resistance. This makes the lens suitable for use in harsh environments and demanding applications.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat, a broadband anti-reflection coating specifically designed for use with laser light sources. This coating reduces surface reflections to less than 0.5% across the 633nm wavelength, thereby maximizing light transmission and improving signal-to-noise ratios.
