87-912 5.0mm Dia. x 30.0mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The 87-912 is a 5.0mm diameter, 30.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with its Spherical geometry, is designed to meet the demands of various optical applications.

The lens is fabricated from the high-quality material, N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a low refractive index and low dispersion. This makes the lens suitable for use across a wide spectrum of wavelengths, with a specified central wavelength of 587.6nm.

The Plano-Convex design of the lens features a flat plane on one side and a curved plane on the other, with a radius of curvature of 15.5mm. This design results in a back focal length of 28.95mm and an effective focal length of 30mm. The lens has an edge thickness of 1.4mm and a center thickness of 1.6mm, providing robustness and durability.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means the lens is more versatile, as it can be used in a wider range of environments without the risk of coating damage.

The lens's specifications, as detailed above, make it suitable for a variety of applications, including but not limited to imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. The item data provided offers a comprehensive overview of the lens, aiding users in their selection process and ensuring the lens meets their specific optical needs.
