The 38-579 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a base shape of Circular, is designed to cater to a wide range of optical applications. The lens features a diameter of 12.5mm and a thickness of 1.3mm at the edge, transitioning to 3.1mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 15mm, making it suitable for applications requiring a longer focal length.
The lens's geometry includes an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout. The front surface of the lens has a radius of curvature (R1) of 11.77mm, while the back focal length (BFL) measures 13.26mm.
The lens is made from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent optical properties. The lens is coated with YAG-BBAR, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission in the spectral range of 500-1100nm. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of wavelengths.
