36-687 18mm Dia x 36mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens

The 36-687 18mm Dia x 36mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of Circular, is a Spherical Lens (Plano-Convex) type, designed to manipulate and focus light in various applications.

The lens boasts a diameter of 18mm and a thickness edge of 1.83mm, providing a substantial surface area for light interaction. The thickness center measures 4.5mm, indicating a reasonable depth for the lens. The effective focal length (EFL) is 36mm, suggesting a moderate to long focal length, suitable for applications requiring a wider field of view or a larger image circle.

The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The wavelength of 587.6nm indicates the lens is designed for use in the visible light spectrum. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. This may result in increased reflection at the air-glass interfaces but can be beneficial in applications where such reflections are desired or where surface treatments may interfere with the application.

Please note that the inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a simple, single-surface design. The lens's geometry is spherical, a common and versatile shape in optical design.
