The SLSQ-25.4-500P is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 500.0 mm. This lens is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is made of fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock.
The lens geometry is characterized by its edge thickness of 1.9 mm and center thickness of 2.3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 500 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 230 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 498 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm.
This lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means that the lens is more versatile and can be used in a wider range of applications without the risk of coating-specific limitations.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for applications that use this wavelength, such as certain types of fluorescence microscopy.
