The 36-698 is a UV Plano-Convex Lens, 18mm in diameter and 27mm in focal length, manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum, specifically between 250 and 425nm, making it ideal for applications such as UV curing, UV imaging, and analytical instrumentation.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material known for its high transmittance in the UV range, low auto-fluorescence, and excellent thermal shock resistance. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM UV Standard Curve coating, which provides excellent anti-reflection properties, further enhancing its performance in the UV spectrum.
The lens has a spherical shape, with a plano surface on one side and a convex surface on the other. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is 12.38mm, and the lens has a clear aperture of 18mm. The center thickness of the lens is 5.5mm, while the edge thickness is 1.62mm. The lens has a high refractive index, which contributes to its compact size and excellent optical performance.
The lens is in stock and available for immediate shipping. For more information, including detailed specifications and performance data, please refer to the product page on the Edmund Optics website.
