The 45-695 is a 9mm diameter, 27mm focal length uncoated plano-convex lens, designed for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, offering a wide range of applications in various optical systems.
The lens has a thickness of 1.15mm at the edge and 2mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact design. The effective focal length (EFL) of 27mm, combined with an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, ensures a focused and precise optical path.
The lens material is fused silica (mal-1965), a high-quality, low-autofluorescence material that is ideal for UV applications. The wavelength of 587.6nm is within the visible light spectrum, but due to the uncoated nature of the lens, it is optimized for UV use.
