This laser grade plano-convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use with 355nm lasers. The lens boasts a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 150mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is made from UVFS MAL-1965, a material specifically chosen for its optical properties at the 355nm wavelength. This material ensures optimal performance and minimal distortion, making it an ideal choice for precision applications.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, with a flat front surface and a curved back surface. The radius of curvature of the back surface is 71.41mm, and the back focal length is 147.33mm. The lens has a thickness of 2.77mm at the edge and 4mm at the center, providing excellent structural integrity.
Both the front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 355, a specialized coating designed to enhance the lens' performance with 355nm lasers. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission, improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the lens.
