G312314000 22.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=40mm Uncoated

The G312314000 is a 22.4 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from Qioptiq Photonics, featuring a focal length of 40mm and crafted from N-BK7 glass. This lens is uncoated, offering a versatile and cost-effective solution for various optical applications.

The Plano-Convex lens type consists of a single spherical surface, which is flat on one side and curved on the other. This design provides a variety of benefits, including a wide field of view, low distortion, and ease of alignment. The G312314000 lens specifically features a convex surface with a radius of curvature of 20.83 mm, ensuring optimal image quality and light transmission.

The lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. N-BK7, also known as BK7, offers a high refractive index, low dispersion, and excellent homogeneity. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, laser systems, and beam shaping.

The G312314000 lens has a thickness of 1.7 mm at the edge and 5 mm at the center, providing a robust and durable design. The uncoated surface ensures minimal reflection, allowing for efficient light transmission. However, for applications requiring higher transmission or protection against environmental factors, various coating options are available.
