This 4.5mm Dia. x 9.0mm FL Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer Edmund Optics, is a high-quality spherical lens designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum (400-1000nm). The lens is coated with edm visnir0sp2002000 on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance and durability in a wide range of applications.
The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 4.5mm and a thickness at the edge of 1.8mm. The center thickness measures 2.38mm, while the effective focal length (EFL) is 9mm. The lens's front surface has a radius of curvature (R1) of 4.65mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 7.41mm. The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott material, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens's coating, edm visnir0sp2002000, is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum. This coating reduces surface reflections and increases transmission, enhancing the lens's performance in various applications.
Please note that the lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a flat surface on the lens's opposite side to the plano-convex surface. This feature makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
