The 36-731 is a high-quality UV Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 10mm and a focal length of 25mm, is designed for use within the visible to near-infrared spectrum, specifically catering to the wavelength range of 400-1000nm.
The lens is crafted from fused silica, a material with a high transmittance across a broad spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require superior image quality and minimal optical loss. The plano-convex geometry, characterized by a flat front surface and a curved back surface, ensures efficient light collection and focusing.
The 36-731 features a front and back coating of edm visnir0sp2002000, a proprietary anti-reflective coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system efficiency.
The lens's geometry details include an edge thickness of 1.85mm and a center thickness of 3mm. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens surface. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 25mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 22.94mm, providing a clear understanding of the lens's optical properties for integration into optical systems.
