The 88-037 is a UV Plano-Concave Lens, 12.0mm in diameter, with a focal length of -100mm, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use within the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, specifically between 250-425nm, making it ideal for applications such as UV curing, UV spectroscopy, or any other tasks requiring UV light manipulation.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths, ensuring optimal performance in its designated UV range. The base shape is circular, and the lens is spherical, with a center thickness of 2mm and an edge thickness of 2.36mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature.
The 88-037 is coated with Edmund Optics' standard UV coating on both the front and back surfaces, providing excellent anti-reflection properties. This coating is designed to the standard UV curve, ensuring minimal loss of light due to reflection and improving the overall efficiency of the lens.
