This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 38-277-INK, is characterized by its 9.0mm diameter and a focal length of 20mm. The lens is designed for use within the visible light spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 425-675nm.
The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with the VIS 0° coating, which is Edmund Optics' standard curve coating. This coating enhances the lens's performance by minimizing surface reflections and optimizing light transmission.
The lens's geometry is noteworthy, with an edge thickness of 1.17mm and a center thickness of 2.2mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens's base shape is circular, and its shape is spherical, which is ideal for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion. This material makes the lens suitable for use in various applications, from imaging to laser systems.
