The 36-690 25mm Dia x 40mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 25mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require a spherical lens with a plano-convex geometry.
The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its optical clarity and durability. The plano-convex shape of the lens, where one side is flat and the other is curved, provides a focal length of 40mm. This shape is particularly useful in applications where a collimated beam needs to be focused to a point or where a point source needs to be collimated.
The lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens. The edge thickness of the lens is 2.58mm, while the center thickness is 7.5mm. This variation in thickness can affect the lens's performance, particularly in applications where precise control over the beam's shape and intensity is required.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for use in applications that use visible light. However, it does not come with any coatings, which may affect its performance in high-intensity or high-precision applications.
In terms of availability, the weblink provided indicates that the lens is currently in stock, making it a readily available option for those in need of a high-quality plano-convex lens.
