The 45-223 4.0mm Dia. x 4.0mm FL is a Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with its spherical geometry, is designed with a circular base shape and a diameter of 4mm, making it a compact and versatile option for various optical applications.
The lens features a thickness of 1mm at the edge and 1.7mm at the center, providing a decent depth for light transmission. The effective focal length (EFL) is 4mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point, influencing the convergence or divergence of light rays.
The lens is made from n-lasf44 Schott, a high-quality optical material known for its excellent transparency and durability. The wavelength of 587.6nm indicates the specific light frequency this lens is designed to handle, often falling within the visible light spectrum.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance light transmission or protect the lens surface. While this may limit its performance in certain applications, it can be an advantage in others, such as when minimal reflection is required.
