The 36-714 is a UV-VIS coated Plano-Convex lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a diameter of 25mm and a focal length of 40mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The base shape is circular, and the lens features a spherical geometry, with a center thickness of 7.5mm and an edge thickness of 2.58mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a uniform curvature.
The 36-714 lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard UV-VIS coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the UV-VIS spectrum, specifically between 250-700nm. The coating is designed to improve the lens's transmission and reduce reflection, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The lens's geometry also features a relatively large back focal length of 34.86mm, which can be beneficial in certain application where a longer back focal length is required.
