The 11-430 is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, boasting a diameter of 50.8mm and a focal length of 50.8mm, specifically designed for use in the 3-12µm wavelength range. This lens is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics, ensuring reliability and performance.
The lens is crafted from ZnSe (Zinc Selenide) material, identified as "znse connolly" in the material database. This material is known for its excellent transparency in the infrared spectrum, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, night vision, and other infrared-based technologies.
The lens features a BBAR (Broadband Anti-Reflection) coating on both the front and back surfaces, denoted as "edm dbbarl znse 312". This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby enhancing transmission and improving overall system performance.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2.42mm at the edge and 7.1mm at the center. The lens's base shape is circular, and it has a spherical shape with a radius of curvature of 71.26mm on the convex side. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature.
