36-718 10mm Dia x 20mm FL VIS 0° Coated; UV Plano-Convex Lens VIS 0° 425-675nm

This 10mm diameter, 20mm focal length plano-convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a versatile optical component designed for use within the visible light spectrum. Its plano-convex geometry, featuring a convex surface radius of 9.17mm, allows for efficient light gathering and focusing. The lens is constructed from fused silica (mal-1965), a material renowned for its excellent transparency and resistance to thermal shock.

The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 standard curve coating, enhancing its performance within the visible light range of 425-675nm. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and minimizing light loss. The lens's edge thickness measures 1.52mm, while its center thickness is 3mm, contributing to its overall robustness and durability.

This lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and light collimation. Its high-quality construction, combined with its broad spectral range and robust design, make it a reliable and versatile component in any optical system.
