The 38-695 is a laser grade plano-convex lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a trusted name in the optical industry. This lens boasts a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 50mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from UVFS Mal-1965, a material specifically chosen for its optical properties and durability. The plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light transmission and focusing. The geometry of the lens is carefully controlled, with a thickness at the edge of 2.35mm and a center thickness of 6.35mm, ensuring optimal performance.
The 38-695 features a base shape of a circle, a common and versatile shape in optical systems. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, which, combined with its diameter, allows for a wide field of view and high light-gathering capabilities. The lens's inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a simple, straightforward design.
This lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 532, a specialized coating designed to enhance the lens's performance in laser applications. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring maximum light transmission and minimal reflection.
