The 45-692 is a 6mm diameter, 18mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, designed for use in the UV spectrum, is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for applications where coating is not a necessity.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a 6mm diameter, with a thickness of 1.44mm at the edge and 2mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 18mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 8.25mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 16.62mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a planar surface on the opposite side of the convex curve.
The lens is made from fused silica, identified as 'fused sil mal-1965' in the material database. This material is known for its excellent transparency in the UV region, making it an ideal choice for UV applications. The wavelength specified for this lens is 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum.
