The 46-258 is a UV-AR coated plano-convex lens, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 9mm diameter and a focal length of 13.5mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require ultraviolet light transmission.
The lens is constructed from fused silica, a material with a high transmission rate in the UV region, making it ideal for use in UV spectroscopy, UV imaging, and other UV-based applications. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM UV STD CURVE coating, which enhances its UV transmission capabilities and provides excellent anti-reflective properties.
The geometry of the lens is characterized by a thickness of 1.06mm at the edge and 3mm at the center. The lens has a spherical shape, with a radius of curvature of 6.19mm on the curved surface. The back surface is flat, and the lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. However, its UV transmission capabilities make it a versatile option for UV applications.
