The 48-664 6mm Dia. x 15mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 6mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require a spherical lens with a plano-convex geometry.
The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a thickness at the edge of 1.31mm and a center thickness of 2mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 15mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The lens's front radius of curvature (R1) is 6.88mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 13.63mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
The 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 applications that operate within this wavelength range.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This may affect its performance in high-intensity light applications or where minimizing reflections is critical. However, it can be an advantage in applications where the user wants to control the reflection characteristics of the lens.
