The 38-722 is a laser grade plano-convex lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, featuring a 25.4mm diameter and a focal length of 50mm. This lens is specifically tailored for use with a 1064nm wavelength, making it suitable for various applications within the infrared spectrum.
The lens boasts a plano-convex geometry, characterized by a flat front surface and a curved back surface. The curvature of the back surface is defined by a radius of 23.8mm, contributing to a back focal length of 45.71mm. The lens's edge thickness measures 2.35mm, while the center thickness is 6.35mm, providing robustness and structural integrity.
The lens is constructed from UVFS, a material with the material ID 1965. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for laser applications. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat, a specialized coating designed for 1064nm wavelengths. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.
