The 36-729 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. It boasts a 9mm diameter and a 22mm focal length (FL), making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and near-infrared (NIR) regions.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano), and the other side is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The lens has a 1.94mm edge thickness and a 3mm center thickness, contributing to its robustness and durability.
The 36-729 lens is coated with a VIS-NIR coating, specifically the edm visnir0sp2002000 coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the VIS and NIR regions (400-1000nm), reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
