This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 38-314, has a diameter of 18.0mm and a focal length of 25.0mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is made from the material n-bk7 schott, a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and durability. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.65mm at the edge and 5.3mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 25.0mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 12.92mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 21.51mm.
The lens features a VIS 0° coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum (425-675nm). This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall image quality.
The lens's shape is spherical, a common geometry in optical lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility in various applications. The lens is circular in base shape, adding to its adaptability in different setups.
