SLB-08-15PIR2 8.0 mm Dia. x 15.0 mm FL; Coated; Plano-Convex Lens 750-1550nm

The SLB-08-15PIR2 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from OptoSigma, designed for use within the wavelength range of 750-1550nm. This lens boasts a diameter of 8.0 mm and a focal length of 15.0 mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component.

The lens is fabricated from the high-quality material n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. This ensures the lens delivers reliable and consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures and applications.

The lens features a Plano-Convex geometry, with a center thickness of 2.6 mm and an edge thickness of 1.5 mm. This design provides a large clear aperture, reducing the risk of vignetting and ensuring maximum light transmission. The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with Opt IR2, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission and reduces surface reflections, further optimizing the lens's performance.

The lens's base shape is circular, allowing for versatile integration into various optical systems. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens surface. The effective focal length (EFL) is 15.0 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 13.3 mm, providing a long focal length relative to its size, making it suitable for applications requiring a narrow field of view or high magnification.
