SLB-15-100P 15.0 mm Dia. x 100.0 mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLB-15-100P is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 15.0 mm and a focal length of 100.0 mm. This lens is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low auto-fluorescence.

The lens geometry includes a thickness edge of 2.0 mm and a thickness center of 2.5 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 100.0 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 51.9 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 98.3 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a flat surface on the opposite side of the convex surface.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. This may result in higher reflective losses, but it also means the lens can be used in a wider range of applications without the risk of coating-specific limitations.

The lens is designed for a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for use in applications that use this wavelength, such as certain types of fluorescence microscopy. The lens shape is spherical, which is a common shape for optical lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance.
