45-077 6.0mm Dia. x 6.0mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The 45-077 is a 6.0mm diameter, 6.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This uncoated lens is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where high-quality imaging is required.

The lens's geometry is characterized by a 1.42mm edge thickness and a 2.5mm center thickness, ensuring a robust and durable construction. The plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light transmission and minimal distortion. The lens's base shape is circular, providing a broad field of view and making it suitable for various optical systems.

The lens is made from n-SF11 Schott glass, a high-index material with excellent optical properties. This material is known for its low auto-fluorescence, making it ideal for applications involving laser light. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, ensuring optimal performance in visible light applications.

Notably, the lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. While this may result in a higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, it also means the lens can be used in a wider range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.
