This product is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. The lens has a base shape of a circle and is designed for use in the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1000nm and 1550nm.
The lens has a diameter of 25.4mm and a thickness at the edge of 3mm. The center thickness is 4.585mm, providing a solid structure for optical applications. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 100mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a longer focal length is required.
The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with AR-18, a coating specifically designed for the infrared spectrum. This coating helps to reduce reflections and increase transmission, enhancing the performance of the lens in its intended application.
The lens's geometry is spherical, with a radius of curvature (R1) of 51.68mm and a back focal length (BFL) of 96.97mm. The inner radius of the lens is 0mm, indicating a simple, straightforward design.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and wide transmission range. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of optical applications, particularly those in the infrared spectrum.
