This optical component is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics. The lens boasts a diameter of 12.7mm and a focal length of 38.1mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is designed with a spherical shape, which is a common choice due to its ease of manufacturing and good imaging quality.
The lens is made from the material n-BK7 Schott, a popular choice in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-0 STD CURVE coating, which is designed to improve transmission in the visible spectrum (425-675nm). This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing light transmission.
The lens's geometry is another notable feature. It has an edge thickness of 1.95mm and a center thickness of 3mm. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a flat surface on the lens's non-curved side. The lens's base shape is circular, which is a common and versatile shape in optical systems.
