65-260 1.0mm Dia. x 2.0mm FL; MgF2 Coated; Plano-Convex Lens MgF2 400-700nm
This is a 1.0mm diameter, 2.0mm focal length plano-convex lens, coated with MgF2, sourced from Edmund Optics. The lens is designed for use within the wavelength range of 400-700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from n-lasf9 Schott material, a high-quality glass often used in optical systems due to its excellent transmission properties. The plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is a common design for lenses, providing a simple yet effective way to focus light.
The lens has a center thickness of 0.8mm and an edge thickness of 0.72mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a low profile. The effective focal length (EFL) is 2mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point when the lens is imaging an object at infinity.
The lens is coated with MgF2 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, standard from Edmund Optics, reduces reflection and increases transmission, enhancing the performance of the lens. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0, indicating a sharp transition between the lens and the air, which can help to minimize scattering and improve the quality of the image.
