G312010000 8 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=8mm Uncoated

This is the G312010000 8 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from Qioptiq Photonics. The lens, which has a diameter of 8 mm, is designed with a plano-convex geometry, featuring a flat (plano) surface on one side and a curved (convex) surface on the other. This design is particularly useful in applications where a collimated beam needs to be focused to a spot.

The lens's curvature is defined by a radius of 4.13 mm, which is the distance from the center of the curved surface to its edge. The lens's thickness at the edge is 0.91 mm, while its thickness at the center is 4 mm. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of the lens is 8 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point where the beam converges.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The glass is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance or protect it from environmental factors.

This lens is ideal for applications that require a simple, high-quality lens with a long focal length. It can be used in various fields, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications. The lens is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Qioptiq Photonics website.
