The 88-813 is a plano-convex lens with a diameter of 9.0mm and a focal length of 18.0mm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements. The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high homogeneity.
The lens features a YAG-BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, specifically designed for the wavelength range of 500-1100nm, enhances the lens's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission. The coating is particularly beneficial for applications that require high transmission and low loss, such as laser systems, biomedical imaging, and optical communication systems.
The geometry of the lens is carefully designed to ensure optimal performance. The edge thickness is 1.25mm, while the center thickness is 2.41mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface on the uncoated side. The effective focal length (EFL) is 18mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 9.32mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 16.41mm.
