The 38-463-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.7mm, is designed for use within the visible light spectrum, specifically optimized for wavelengths of 587.6nm. The lens has a front and back coating of edm vis ext, which enhances its performance within the specified wavelength range.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a thickness of 1.34mm at the edge and 2.7mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 30mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 15.51mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 28.22mm. The lens does not have an inner radius, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a uniform curvature.
This lens is made of n-bk7 schott, a popular optical material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens's shape, a plano-convex design, is ideal for applications that require a focused beam of light, such as in imaging systems, beam shaping, or light collimation.
The lens's coating, edm vis ext, is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for the visible spectrum. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the lens's transmission and overall performance.
