The 36-695 10mm Dia x 25mm FL UV-AR Coated; UV Plano-Convex Lens UV-AR 250-425nm is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 10mm, is designed for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications, specifically within the wavelength range of 250-425nm.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 11.46mm, which contributes to its effective focal length (EFL) of 25mm. The lens's center thickness is 3mm, while the edge thickness is 1.85mm, providing a robust structure for various applications.
The lens is made from fused silica, identified as fused sil mal-1965 in the material ID. This material is known for its excellent transparency in the UV region, making it ideal for UV applications.
The lens is coated with UV-AR coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, denoted as "edm uv std curve," is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the UV region, further enhancing the lens's performance in its intended application.
