This 36-733 UV Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum (VIS-NIR), specifically covering the wavelength range of 400-1000nm. The lens boasts a diameter of 12mm and a focal length of 84mm, making it a versatile choice for a variety of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from fused silica (mal-1965), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low autofluorescence. This makes the lens ideal for applications that require high-resolution imaging and precise light control.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, with a spherical shape that provides a wide field of view and minimal distortion. The front surface of the lens is coated with edm visnir0sp2002000, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission and reduces surface reflections, further improving image quality. The same coating is also applied to the back surface of the lens for consistent performance.
The lens has a thickness of 2.03mm at the edge and 2.5mm at the center, providing a robust and durable design. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface on the non-curved side of the lens.
