45-093 15.0mm Dia. x 15.0mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The 45-093 is a 15.0mm diameter, 15.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with its spherical geometry and circular base shape, is an uncoated optical element, designed for use in a wide range of applications.

The lens's geometry features a 2.16mm thickness at the edge, increasing to 5.5mm at the center, providing a robust structure suitable for various optical systems. The effective focal length (EFL) is 15mm, ensuring a focused, clear image. The radius of curvature (R1) is 10.09mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 11.71mm, contributing to the lens's overall optical performance.

The lens is made from n-SF5 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties, particularly in the visible spectrum. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light range. The lens's shape is spherical, a common geometry in optical lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility in optical systems.

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