The 48-274 is a 25mm diameter x 50mm focal length uncoated plano-convex lens, specifically designed for UV applications. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, ensuring a wide field of view and minimal distortion.
The lens geometry is meticulously designed, with a diameter of 25mm, a thickness at the edge of 2.13mm, and a thickness at the center of 5.84mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, providing a high-quality image with excellent focus and clarity. The lens's radius of curvature (R1) is 22.92mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 46mm, contributing to its superior optical performance.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with the material ID 1965. This material is known for its excellent transparency in the UV region, making it ideal for UV applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in UV applications.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. However, its UV transparency makes it suitable for UV applications as well.
