36-711 18mm Dia x 36mm FL UV-VIS Coated; UV Plano-Convex Lens UV-VIS 250-700nm
The 36-711 is a UV-VIS coated plano-convex lens, 18mm in diameter and 36mm in focal length, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use within the ultraviolet and visible light spectrum, specifically between 250 and 700 nanometers.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths, making it ideal for applications requiring high-quality imaging or light transmission. The plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing.
The lens features a standard UV-VIS coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving image quality and reducing light loss. The coating is designed to the standard curve specified by Edmund Optics, ensuring consistent performance across different lenses.
The geometry of the lens includes a diameter of 18mm, a thickness at the edge of 1.83mm, and a thickness at the center of 4.5mm. The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 36mm, a radius of curvature (R1) of 16.51mm, and a back focal length (BFL) of 32.92mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a flat inner surface and a curved outer surface.
