38-588 12.5mm Dia. x 45.0mm FL; YAG-BBAR Coated; Plano-Convex Lens YAG-BBAR 500-1100nm
The 38-588 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, 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's geometry is characterized by a thickness of 1.14mm at the edge, increasing to 2mm at the center, and a focal length of 45mm. The front surface of the lens has a radius of curvature of 23.26mm, while the back focal length measures 43.68mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens surface.
The lens is made from the high-quality material, n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission and low auto-fluorescence. This makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, from imaging to laser systems.
The lens features a YAG-BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, with a spectral range of 500-1100nm, enhances the lens's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission. The coating is designed to be durable and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring the lens maintains its optical performance over time.
