The 36-727 is a 6mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a 21mm focal length, designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum (VIS-NIR), specifically catering to the wavelength range of 400-1000nm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmission range, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a VIS-NIR coating (edm visnir0sp2002000), which enhances its performance in the specified wavelength range.
The lens geometry includes a 1.52mm edge thickness and a 2mm center thickness. The inner and outer radii are 0, and the lens has a base shape of a circle. The front surface has a radius of curvature of 9.63mm, and the back focal length is 19.63mm.
This lens is a versatile optical component, ideal for use in applications that require a high-quality, broadband lens with a long focal length. Its VIS-NIR coating and broad wavelength compatibility make it a valuable addition to any optical system.
