G312412000 31.5 mm Dia. UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=50mm Uncoated

The G312412000 is a 31.5 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from Qioptiq Photonics, a leading vendor in the field of precision optics. This lens, designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum at a wavelength of 355 nm, is uncoated, offering a simple, cost-effective solution for various optical applications.

The lens features a focal length (EFL) of 50 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The lens has a center thickness of 7.5 mm and an edge thickness of 2.1 mm, providing a robust and durable structure.

The lens is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica), a high-quality material known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet spectrum. This material also offers high thermal stability and resistance to chemical environments, making it ideal for use in demanding applications.

The item data provides a detailed breakdown of the lens's geometry, including the inner and outer radii, which are both 0 in this case, indicating a simple, straightforward design. The lens's shape is spherical, a common and versatile choice in optical design due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance.
