This item is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens boasts a 9.0mm diameter and a focal length of 45.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is coated with a VIS 0° coating on both the front and back surfaces, ensuring optimal performance within the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.1mm at the edge and 1.54mm at the center, providing a balanced structure for efficient light transmission. The lens's shape is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 23.26mm on the curved surface and a back focal length of 43.98mm.
The Edmund Optics' VIS 0° coating is a standard curve coating that enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission. This coating is particularly useful in applications where high transmission and low reflection are critical, such as in imaging systems, beam delivery systems, and laser applications.
