37-806 15.0mm Dia. x 25.0mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The 37-806 is a 15.0mm diameter, 25.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, designed for general-purpose use, is uncoated, offering users a cost-effective solution for various applications.

The Plano-Convex lens features a base shape of a circle, with an edge thickness of 1.4mm and a center thickness of 3.8mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 25.mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 12.92mm. The back focal length (BFL) measures 22.5mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius specified, indicating a uniform curvature throughout.

The lens is made of the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high homogeneity. This material is suitable for use across a wide range of the visible spectrum, with a wavelength of 587.6nm specified for this particular lens.

The 37-806 is a spherical lens, meaning it has a surface that is a portion of a sphere. This shape is common in optical systems due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility in applications.

Please note that this lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to enhance its optical properties. While this may result in a more economical product, it could lead to reduced transmission and increased susceptibility to environmental factors such as dirt, dust, and moisture.
