G312317000 22.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=80mm Uncoated

The G312317000 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 22.4 mm, sourced from Qioptiq Photonics. This lens is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry known for its excellent optical properties. The lens has a planar surface on one side and a convex surface on the other, with a center thickness of 3.5 mm and an edge thickness of 1.9 mm.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 80 mm, making it suitable for applications that require moderate magnification. The lens's geometry is spherical, a common shape in optical lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance. However, it's important to note that spherical lenses can introduce spherical aberration, which may need to be corrected depending on the application.

This lens is uncoated, meaning it doesn't have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this can make the lens more affordable, it may also result in higher reflective losses and a reduced overall transmission. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the specific requirements of your application when choosing whether to use a coated or uncoated lens.

The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 588 nm, a common wavelength for many optical systems. It's important to ensure that this wavelength is compatible with your specific application.
