SLSQ-08B-15P 8.0 mm Dia. x 15.5 mm FL; Double-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLSQ-08B-15P is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the reputable vendor OptoSigma. This lens is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications, thanks to its precise geometry and premium fused silica material.

The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 8.0 mm, making it suitable for use in compact optical systems. The thickness of the lens at the edge is 1.5 mm, while the center thickness is 2.7 mm, providing excellent structural integrity and minimal distortion.

The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 15.5 mm, which is a common choice for many optical applications due to its versatility. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 13.8 mm, and the second radius of curvature (R2) is -13.8 mm, indicating a strongly converging lens. The back focal length (BFL) is 14.5 mm, which is crucial for determining the position of the lens in an optical system.

The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high index of refraction and low dispersion, making it ideal for applications that require high optical performance. The material ID for this lens is "fused sil mal-1965", which can be used for further material specifications.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can be a good choice for applications where cost and simplicity are priorities.

The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 546.1 nm, which is a common choice for many optical applications. It has a spherical shape, which is the most common and versatile lens shape.
