This product is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 38-353-INK, is a spherical lens with a circular base shape and a diameter of 12.5mm. It features a plano-convex geometry, implying that one side of the lens is flat (plano), while the other side is curved (convex).
The lens has a thickness of 1.29mm at the edge and 3.8mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 17.5mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 9.05mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 15mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. It is coated with Edmund Optics' standard NIR-I coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed for the wavelength range of 600-1050nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared region, making it suitable for various applications in this spectrum.
The lens's status is "Valid - in stock," indicating that it is readily available for purchase and use. This information, along with the detailed specifications provided, should assist users in their search for optical components with similar properties.
