L-MPX007 3 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=9mm Uncoated
The L-MPX007 is a 3 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in micro-optics applications, as indicated by its inclusion in Ross Optical's micro-optics catalog. The Plano-Convex design, characterized by a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other, is a common choice for optical systems due to its ability to focus light onto a single point.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 9mm, which is a measure of the distance between the lens and the point at which it focuses light. This particular lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties.
The geometry of the lens includes a diameter of 3mm, with a thickness at the edge of 1.3mm and a center thickness of 1.5mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 4.6512mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 8.01mm. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range.
This lens is designed to work with light of a wavelength of 587.6nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. The lens's shape is spherical, and it has no coating, as indicated in the item data.
