The 49-974 is a UV-VIS coated Plano-Convex lens, boasting a diameter of 20mm and a focal length of 50mm. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, is designed for use within the UV-VIS spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 250-700nm.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a thickness of 1.7mm at the edge, increasing to 4mm at the center, providing a solid base for various optical applications. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the standard EDMM UV-VIS coating, ensuring optimal performance within its designated spectrum.
The lens's base shape is circular, and its geometry is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 22.92mm on the front surface. The back focal length measures 47.25mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature.
This lens is made from fused silica, identified as mal-1965 in the material ID, a common choice for its high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. The lens's shape, a Plano-Convex design, is a popular choice for applications requiring a single focusing surface.
