The SLB-05-15PIR2 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. This lens, with a 5.0 mm diameter, is designed for use within the wavelength range of 750-1550nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano), and the other side is curved (convex). The curvature of the convex side is defined by a radius of 7.79mm. The lens has a thickness of 1.2mm at the edge and 1.6mm at the center, providing a base for secure mounting and alignment in optical systems.
The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of this lens is 15mm, which is the distance from the lens to the point at which the light rays converge. The Back Focal Length (BFL) is 13.9mm, which is the distance from the back surface of the lens to the point where the light rays converge.
The lens is made from n-bk7 schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence. This material makes the lens suitable for use in high-precision optical systems.
The lens is coated with Opt IR2 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission within the specified wavelength range.
