The SLSQ-08-15P is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from OptoSigma, with a diameter of 8.0 mm and a focal length of 15.0 mm. This lens is made of fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, durability, and resistance to thermal shock. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its edge thickness of 1.5 mm and center thickness of 2.8 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The radius of curvature (r1) is 6.9 mm, and the back focal length (bfl) is 13.1 mm. The effective focal length (efl) is 15.0 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point.
This lens is designed for use at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for applications that use this specific wavelength, such as certain types of fluorescence microscopy. The lens's spherical shape ensures a high level of optical performance, with minimal aberrations.
