This laser grade plano-convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in laser applications. With a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 250mm, it is a substantial lens capable of focusing and directing laser beams with precision.
The lens is made from UVFS, a material specifically designed for use in ultraviolet applications, and has a refractive index of 1.965. This makes it ideal for use with lasers operating at a wavelength of 355nm. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat, a specialized coating that enhances its performance in laser applications by reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
The lens's geometry is spherical, with a plano-convex shape. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is 119.02mm, and the back focal length is 247.36mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 3.27mm, while the center thickness is 4mm. Despite its size, the lens is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a practical choice for a wide range of laser applications.
