This product is a Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 47-476-INK, boasts a 9.0mm diameter and a focal length of 36.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat, and the other side is curved. This geometry allows for efficient light convergence or divergence, depending on the application.
The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 standard curve coating, designed to enhance its performance within the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm. This coating aids in reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing the lens's transmission efficiency.
The lens's geometry details further reveal a 1.75mm edge thickness and a 2.3mm center thickness. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a simple plano-convex design. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 36.48mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 18.61mm.
