L-MPX008 3.6 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=3.5mm Uncoated

The L-MPX008 is a 3.6 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, part of the extensive micro-optics catalog offered by Ross Optical. This lens is designed with a spherical shape, featuring a convex surface that refracts light towards a central focal point. The lens's geometry includes a 0.9 mm thickness at the edge, increasing to 2 mm at the center, and an effective focal length (EFL) of 3.5 mm.

The lens's base shape is circular, with an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm, indicating a flat plane on one side. The radius of curvature (R1) is 1.8088 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 2.23 mm. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.

This lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance light transmission or protect the surface. However, uncoated lenses can be more cost-effective and are suitable for applications where high transmission and surface protection are not critical.

The L-MPX008 is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. It's important to note that the lens's performance can vary depending on the specific conditions of its application, including the light source's intensity, the distance between the lens and the light source, and the distance between the lens and the image plane.
