G312255400 8 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=12.5mm

The G312255400 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Qioptiq Photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 8 mm, is designed for use with a wavelength of 355 nm, making it suitable for ultraviolet applications. The lens features a fused silica material, identified as UVFS MAL-1965, which is known for its excellent transparency in the UV range.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 12.5 mm, determined by the curvature of its single spherical surface, which has a radius of 6.355 mm. This curvature results in a thickness of 1 mm at the edge and 2.4 mm at the center. The lens's design is circular, and it comes unmounted, allowing for versatile integration into various optical systems.

The G312255400 lens is coated with Qio Silver RAGV 45 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.

The lens's geometry, material, and coating make it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance UV lenses. It is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Qioptiq Photonics website, with the provided weblink providing direct access to the product page.
