The 38-571 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a 9.0mm diameter, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens features a front and back coating of EDM YAGBBAR 500-1100, a type of anti-reflective coating that enhances its performance in the 500-1100nm wavelength range. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the lens.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.28mm at the edge and 2.7mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 10mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 7.85mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 8.49mm. The lens is made from n-SF11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent optical properties.
This lens is suitable for various applications that require a plano-convex lens with specific geometric and material properties. Its YAG-BBAR coating makes it ideal for use in systems where high transmission and low reflection are critical. The lens's dimensions and EFL make it suitable for use in compact optical systems.
