SLB-05-08P 5.0 mm Dia. x 8.0 mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLB-05-08P is a 5.0 mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a focal length of 8.0 mm, sourced from OptoSigma. This lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high homogeneity. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.

The lens's geometry is characterized by its diameter, thickness edge, and thickness center. The diameter is 5.0 mm, the thickness edge is 1.4 mm, and the thickness center is 2.3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 8.0 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point. The radius of curvature (R1) is 4.15 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 6.5 mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating that it is a simple plano-convex lens.

This lens is suitable for various applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. However, due to its uncoated nature, it may not perform optimally in high-intensity light or harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, it is essential to consider the operating conditions and requirements before selecting this lens.
