38-588-INK 12.5mm Dia. x 45.0mm FL; YAG-BBAR; Inked; Plano-Convex Lens YAG-BBAR 500-1100nm
The 38-588-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from 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 features a front and back coating of YAG-BBAR, a type of anti-reflective coating that enhances transmission in the 500-1100nm range.
The lens has a thickness of 1.14mm at the edge and 2mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 45mm. The front surface of the lens has a radius of curvature of 23.26mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 43.68mm. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties.
The YAG-BBAR coating on the lens is a broadband anti-reflection coating that reduces surface reflections and increases transmission. This coating is designed to work in the 500-1100nm range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including laser systems, optical imaging, and machine vision.
The lens is inked, which is a process where a mark or identifier is added to the lens for tracking and identification purposes. This feature does not affect the optical performance of the lens but is useful for inventory management and quality control.
