The 88-898 is a plano-convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 38.1mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility.
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. This coating is particularly beneficial in applications where high transmission and low loss are critical, such as in laser systems or imaging applications.
The geometry of the lens is also noteworthy. With a thickness of 2.36mm at the edge and 7mm at the center, the lens is designed to provide optimal performance while minimizing weight and bulk. The lens's inner and outer radii are zero, indicating a simple, straightforward design that is easy to integrate into optical systems.
