36-686 18mm Dia x 27mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens
The 36-686 18mm Dia x 27mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with its spherical shape and circular base, is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications.
The lens has a diameter of 18mm and a focal length of 27mm, making it a versatile choice for various setups. The edge thickness measures 1.62mm, while the center thickness is 5.5mm, providing a solid and robust structure. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 27mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 12.38mm, contributing to its excellent optical performance.
The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for applications that require precise wavelength control.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where specific coatings may interfere with the desired optical effects.
