The 38-578 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.5mm, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens is made from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent optical properties. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with YAG-BBAR, a type of anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission in the 500-1100nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving the overall efficiency and performance of the lens.
The lens has a thickness of 1.5mm at the edge and 3.75mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 12.5mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 10.4mm. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface on the non-curved side of the lens.
This lens is a versatile optical component, suitable for a wide range of applications. It is currently in stock, and more information about this product can be found on the Edmund Optics website.
