The 48-666 9mm Dia. x 12mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 9mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require a spherical lens with a plano-convex geometry.
The lens's base shape is circular, and it features a thickness of 1.66mm at the edge, increasing to 4mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 12mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The lens's radius of curvature (R1) is 5.5mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 9.26mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
The lens is made from fused silica, identified as mal-1965 in the material database. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it ideal for use in applications that require high-performance optics. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surface. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a specific coating is not required or desired.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications that involve visible light, such as imaging or illumination systems.
