The 37-808 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 15.0mm and a focal length of 50.0mm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its thickness. The edge thickness is 1.39mm, while the center thickness is 2.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50.0mm, which is the distance over which the lens forms a perfect focus. The radius of curvature (R1) is 25.84mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 48.35mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a common optical glass with excellent transparency in the visible spectrum. The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 587.6nm. The shape of the lens is spherical, which is the most common and simplest type of lens shape.
