This is a laser grade plano-convex lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, with a diameter of 25mm and a focal length of 150mm. The lens is optimized for a wavelength of 355nm, making it suitable for various applications in the ultraviolet spectrum.
The lens is made of fused silica (mal-1965), a material known for its high transparency, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. This makes the lens an excellent choice for harsh environments and high-power laser applications.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). This design provides a large flat surface for easy integration into optical systems, while the curved surface focuses or collimates light. The lens has a center thickness of 3.18mm and an edge thickness of 2.04mm, providing rigidity and resistance to deformation.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' Laser V-Coat 355, a broadband anti-reflective coating designed for high laser damage threshold and high transmission at 355nm. This coating ensures optimal performance and longevity of the lens in laser applications.
