This is a laser grade plano-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, with the product code 38-732, has a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 1000mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require high-precision optics.
The lens is made from UVFS material, specifically identified as MAL-1965 in the item data. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for laser applications. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 3.82mm at the edge, increasing slightly to 4mm at the center, providing a solid and robust structure.
The lens features a front and back coating of EDM LAS V-Coat 1064, designed to enhance its performance in laser applications, particularly at the wavelength of 1064nm. This coating ensures high transmission and low reflection, optimizing the lens's efficiency and effectiveness in laser systems.
The lens's shape is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 476.09mm on the convex side. The back surface is flat, which is typical for plano-convex lenses. The effective focal length (EFL) is 1000mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 997.59mm, providing a long focal length that is beneficial in many applications.
