LXS3025 25 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=30mm Uncoated
The LXS3025 is a 25 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens made from UV Fused Silica (UVFS) material, sourced from Knight Optical. This lens is uncoated and has an effective focal length (EFL) of 30mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens geometry features a thickness of 1.5mm at the edge, with a spherical shape defined by a radius (R1) of 13.752mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature from edge to edge. The lens's base shape is circular, contributing to its wide field of view.
The UVFS material, also known as MAL-1965, is a high-quality fused silica that offers excellent transmission in the ultraviolet region. This makes the LXS3025 an ideal choice for applications that require high UV transmittance, such as UV spectroscopy, laser systems, and optical fiber communication.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, although its performance can extend beyond this wavelength depending on the specific application. The uncoated surface of the lens may exhibit some reflection, but this can be mitigated with the addition of an anti-reflective coating if necessary.
