The 36-705 is a UV-VIS coated Plano-Convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, offering a 9mm diameter and a 22mm focal length. This lens is designed for use within the ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrum, spanning wavelengths from 250nm to 700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens geometry features a convex surface radius of 10.09mm, a center thickness of 3mm, and an edge thickness of 1.94mm. The base shape is circular, and the lens is spherical, ensuring excellent light transmission and focus. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 22mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 19.94mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature.
The lens is constructed from fused silica material, identified as mal-1965 in the material ID. This material is known for its high transparency and resistance to thermal shock, making it an ideal choice for optical systems exposed to varying temperatures.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard UV-VIS coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance within the UV-VIS spectrum, reducing surface reflections and improving overall light transmission.
