The 38-774 is a 25mm diameter, 50mm focal length plano-convex lens, specifically designed for use with 1064nm lasers. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from UVFS material, identified as MAL-1965, which is well-suited for laser applications. It features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat, and the other side is curved, with a radius of 22.92mm. This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing.
The lens has a center thickness of 5.84mm and an edge thickness of 2.13mm, providing robustness and durability. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point. The back focal length (BFL) is 46mm, which is the distance from the lens's rear surface to the focal point.
Both the front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 1064, a proprietary coating designed to enhance laser performance. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission, ensuring optimal laser operation.
