48-027 12mm Dia. x 50mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens
The 48-027 12mm Dia. x 50mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require a focal length of 50mm.
The lens is spherical in shape, specifically a Plano-Convex lens, which means it has a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. This design is often used to focus light onto a single point, making it ideal for applications such as imaging and laser systems. The base shape of the lens is circular, ensuring uniform light distribution and minimal distortion.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2.1mm at the edge and 2.9mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 22.92mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 48.01mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface on one side.
This lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6nm, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this also means it is more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, so it may require more frequent cleaning.
