The 14BCX500-1-2 25.4 mm UVFS Double-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for a variety of applications. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Standa, boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 500mm, making it suitable for use in systems requiring long-distance focusing.
The lens is constructed with a spherical geometry, featuring a diameter of 25.4mm and a thickness of 2.7mm at the edge, transitioning to 3mm at the center. The double-convex design, characterized by two convex surfaces (R1: 475.581383 and R2: -475.581383), allows for efficient light transmission and minimal distortion.
The lens is crafted from UVFS, a material with a refractive index optimized for use in the ultraviolet spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 355nm. This makes the lens ideal for applications in UV laser systems, spectroscopy, and other UV-based technologies.
Notably, this particular lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections and increasing transmission, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where specific reflection properties are desired or where cost is a concern.
