The 38-463 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a diameter of 12.7mm and a focal length of 30.0mm, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any optical system.
The lens is crafted from the high-quality material, N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The base shape of the lens is circular, contributing to its robust design and versatile application.
The geometry of the lens is meticulously designed, with a thickness of 1.34mm at the edge and 2.7mm at the center. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 30mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 15.51mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 28.22mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a plano surface on the opposite side of the convex surface.
The lens features VIS-EXT coatings on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance within the visible spectrum (350-700nm). These coatings are designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency and clarity of the optical system.
