The 49-846 12.7mm Dia. x 50.8mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.7mm and a focal length of 50.8mm, is a spherical lens of the Plano-Convex type, featuring a base shape that is circular.
The lens's geometry is meticulously designed, with an edge thickness of 1.72mm and a center thickness of 2.5mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50.8mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 26.25mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 49.15mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface.
The lens is made from the material n-BK7 Schott, a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance. However, uncoated lenses can still provide high-quality imaging, especially in applications where anti-reflective coatings are not necessary.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, making this lens suitable for applications that involve visible light.
