45-095 15.0mm Dia. x 40.0mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The 45-095 is a 15.0mm diameter, 40.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, designed for general-purpose use, is uncoated, offering users a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.
The Plano-Convex lens features a base shape of a circle, with a thickness of 1.59mm at the edge and 3mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 40mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 20.67mm. The back focal length (BFL) measures 38.02mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature throughout.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for its high refractive index and low dispersion. It is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm. The lens's shape is spherical, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
The uncoated feature of this lens means it does not have any anti-reflective coating. While this may result in a higher reflection loss, it also makes the lens more cost-effective and versatile, as users can apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements.
