SLB-08-10P 8.0 mm Dia. x 10.0 mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLB-08-10P is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 8.0 mm and a focal length of 10.0 mm, sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, OptoSigma. This lens is made of the high-quality material, n-BK7 schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for various applications.

The lens geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its geometry details. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.5 mm, while the center thickness is 3.4 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 10.0 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 5.19 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 7.8 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where cost considerations are a factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can suffer from increased reflection and reduced transmission, especially at higher angles of incidence or when used with broadband light sources.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. It has a spherical shape, which is the most common and versatile lens shape, offering a wide range of applications.
