SLSQ-07-15P 7.0 mm Dia. x 15.0 mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLSQ-07-15P is a 7.0 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, uncoated, with a focal length of 15.0 mm. This lens is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is made of fused silica, a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties, making it suitable for various applications.

The lens geometry features a convex surface with a radius of curvature of 6.9 mm and a thickness that varies from 1.8 mm at the edge to 2.8 mm at the center. The lens's clear aperture is 7.0 mm, and its back focal length is 13.1 mm. The lens's design is spherical, a common choice for its simplicity and wide applicability.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where the addition of a coating could introduce unwanted complexity or cost. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can suffer from higher levels of reflection, which can impact system performance in some cases.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, a common choice for general-purpose applications. However, it's worth noting that the lens's performance can vary depending on the wavelength of light used, so it's important to consider the specific requirements of your application when selecting a lens.
