This is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens with a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The lens is sourced from Holmarc Opto-Mechatronics, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens has a diameter of 30mm and a thickness of 2mm at the edge.
The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 500mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point where light rays converge. This makes it suitable for applications that require moderate to high magnification.
The lens is made of N-BK7, a popular type of glass used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. The refractive index and Abbe number of N-BK7 are 1.5168 and 64.17, respectively, at the wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens features a broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating, designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the spectral range of 400-700nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in various applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems.
The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance and minimal loss of light due to reflection. The lens's shape is spherical, which is the most common type of lens curvature and provides a wide range of applications.
