G312236000 10 mm Dia. N-BAK4 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=15mm Uncoated

The G312236000 is a 10 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, featuring a N-BAK4 material type from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Qioptiq Photonics. This lens boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 15mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where compactness and high optical performance are required.

The Plano-Convex design, with its spherical shape, consists of a flat (plano) surface and a curved (convex) surface. The lens's geometry includes an edge thickness of 1.4mm and a center thickness of 3mm, ensuring excellent light transmission and minimal distortion. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, which contributes to the lens's uniform curvature and consistent optical quality.

The N-BAK4 material, a high-index glass, provides excellent optical performance, low auto-fluorescence, and good thermal stability. This material is particularly suitable for high-performance optical systems, such as imaging devices, beam shaping, and beam homogenization applications.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional anti-reflective or protective coatings. While coatings can enhance the lens's performance and durability, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain scenarios, such as when cost-effectiveness, simplicity, or specific optical characteristics are desired.
