37-786 12.5mm Dia. x 15mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The 37-786 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 12.5mm diameter and a 15mm focal length, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens is crafted from n-SF11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent optical properties. The Plano-Convex geometry, characterized by a flat surface and a curved surface, is designed to control the divergence or convergence of light passing through the lens. This particular lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a symmetrical curvature.

The lens's geometry also includes a 1.3mm thickness at the edge and a 3.1mm thickness at the center. The back focal length (BFL) is 13.26mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 15mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 11.77mm.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to reduce reflection, increase transmission, or protect the lens surface. However, this lens's uncoated status may be beneficial depending on the specific application, as it can reduce surface reflections and provide a clearer image in some cases.
