LXS5025 25 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=50mm Uncoated
The LXS5025 is a 25 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens made from UVFS (Ultraviolet Fused Silica) material, sourced from Knight Optical. This lens is uncoated and has an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, making it suitable for applications that require high-performance UV transmission.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 1.5mm at the edge, with a radius of curvature (R1) of 22.92mm for the convex surface. The lens does not have an inner radius (R2), and the outer radius is also zero, indicating a planar surface on the opposite side. The lens's shape is spherical, a common choice for its ease of manufacturing and good image quality.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. However, due to its UVFS material, it is also suitable for ultraviolet applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its performance or protect it from environmental factors. This may be a consideration depending on the specific application and environment in which the lens will be used.
