84-286 30mm Dia. x 150mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens

The 84-286 is a 30mm diameter, 150mm focal length plano-convex lens, uncoated and optimized for UV light at a wavelength of 587.6nm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry.

The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a planar surface facing the light source and a convex surface facing the object under observation. The convex surface has a radius of curvature of 68.77mm, contributing to a back focal length of 146.57mm. The lens's thickness varies from 3.34mm at the edge to 5mm at the center, providing a balanced optical path length.

The lens is made of fused silica, a material with a high transmission range spanning from the UV to the near-infrared region. This material is identified as 'fused sil mal-1965' in the item data, ensuring consistency and traceability in material selection.

The uncoated nature of this lens implies that it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings. While this may lead to increased scattering and lower transmission compared to coated lenses, it can be advantageous in applications where cost, simplicity, or specific spectral performance is a priority.

Overall, the 84-286 30mm Dia. x 150mm FL Uncoated; UV Plano-Convex Lens is a versatile and cost-effective solution for applications requiring a simple, high-quality UV lens.
