The 34-171 is a 50mm diameter, plano-convex lens designed for use with a 1550nm wavelength, offering a focal length of 100mm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from fused silica (mal-1965), a material renowned for its excellent transmission properties across a wide range of wavelengths, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and clarity. The plano-convex geometry of the lens, where one side is flat and the other is curved, provides a large, flat surface for easy integration into optical systems.
The lens features a front and back coating of edm las v-coat 1550, a specialized coating designed to enhance the lens' performance in laser applications. This coating helps to reduce reflection, increase transmission, and improve the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The lens has a center thickness of 9mm and an edge thickness of 1.58mm, providing a robust and durable design. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens. The lens' effective focal length (EFL) is 100mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 93.84mm, providing a clear focus point for incoming light.
