This 34-160 12mm Dia. x 50mm FL UV Plano-Convex Lens, offered by Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in laser applications at a wavelength of 1550nm. The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle, and is specifically designed for use with ultraviolet (UV) light.
The lens has a diameter of 12mm and a thickness that varies from 2.1mm at the edge to 2.9mm at the center. It has an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point. The lens's front surface has a radius of curvature of 22.92mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 48.01mm. The lens does not have any inner or outer radius specified, indicating that it is a simple plano-convex lens.
The lens is made from fused silica, identified as mal-1965 in the material database. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for use in high-precision applications. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 1550, which is specifically designed for use with 1550nm lasers. This coating provides high transmission and low reflection, ensuring optimal performance in laser applications.
