This item is a 36-734 18mm Dia x 27mm FL VIS-NIR Coated; UV Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens is specifically designed for use within the visible to near-infrared spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm.
The lens is of the Spherical Lens (Plano-Convex) subtype, featuring a base shape of Circular. The geometry of the lens includes a diameter of 18mm, a thickness at the edge of 1.62mm, and a thickness at the center of 5.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 27mm, with a radius of curvature (R1) of 12.38mm and a back focal length (BFL) of 23.23mm. The lens does not have an inner radius, and the outer radius is also 0.
The lens is constructed from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its optical properties within the specified wavelength range. The lens features a coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the 'edm visnir0sp2002000' coating, which is designed to enhance performance within the visible to near-infrared spectrum.
