This product is a double-convex lens, also known as a biconvex lens, offered by Laser Components. The lens has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 40 mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to protect it or modify its optical properties.
The lens is made of fused silica, specifically identified as fused sil mal-1965 in the item data. This material is known for its high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. It is also chemically resistant, making it a good choice for use in harsh environments.
The geometry of the lens is defined by its inner and outer radii. In this case, both the inner and outer radii are 0, indicating that the lens is symmetrical. The thickness of the lens at the edge is 1.9 mm, while the thickness at the center is 6.3 mm. This variation in thickness is due to the curvature of the lens.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 248 nm. This makes it suitable for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications. The lens is spherical in shape, which is a common design for lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance.
