The 48-030 is a UV Plano-Convex Lens, 12mm in diameter and 30mm in focal length, offering a standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical elements.
The lens is made of fused sil mal-1965, a material specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum, with a wavelength of 587.6nm. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light transmission and focusing. The lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature.
The geometry of the lens is defined by its diameter of 12mm, a thickness of 2.17mm at the edge, and a thickness of 3.55mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 30mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 27.56mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 13.75mm.
The lens features UV-AR coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to block ultraviolet light in the 250-425nm range. This coating enhances the lens's performance in UV applications, providing superior clarity and protection.
