The 36-701 is a UV Plano-Convex Lens, 25mm in diameter and 35mm focal length, manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum, specifically between 250 and 425nm, and features UV-AR coating on both the front and back surfaces.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmission rate in the UV range, making it ideal for applications such as UV curing, fluorescence, and analytical instrumentation. The plano-convex geometry, with a 16.05mm radius of curvature, provides a large flat surface for easy integration into optical systems.
The lens has a center thickness of 8.5mm and an edge thickness of 2.51mm, providing excellent mechanical stability. The back focal length is 29.17mm, and the effective focal length is 35mm. The lens is spherical in shape, ensuring excellent image quality and low distortion.
The UV-AR coating on both surfaces of the lens reduces reflection and increases transmission in the UV range. This coating is standard on all Edmund Optics UV lenses and provides a high level of performance and durability.
