This is a double-concave lens, also known as a biconcave lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Laser Components. The lens has a base shape of a circle and is designed for use with a wavelength of 248 nm. The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties.
The lens has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness at the edge of 4.1 mm. The thickness at the center is 2.5 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is -98 mm, indicating that it is a diverging lens, causing parallel light rays to spread out after passing through it. The first radius of curvature (r1) is -100 mm, and the second radius of curvature (r2) is 100 mm.
The lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated. This may result in a decrease in transmission and an increase in reflection, especially at the edges of the spectrum. However, uncoated lenses are often preferred when cost is a significant factor, or when the lens will be used in a controlled environment where the decrease in transmission and increase in reflection will not significantly impact the performance.
