16-296 25mm Dia. S-LAH64 NIR Aspheric Lens; EFL=20mm; NA=0.63 SWIR-Plus 900-1700nm

The 16-296 is a high-performance NIR (Near-Infrared) Aspheric Lens, manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use in the SWIR-Plus wavelength range of 900-1700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require superior imaging capabilities in the near-infrared spectrum.

The lens features a 25mm diameter and a high numerical aperture (NA) of 0.63, which allows for a greater light-gathering capability and improved resolution. The aspheric design of the lens helps to reduce spherical aberration, coma, and other optical aberrations, resulting in superior image quality with high contrast and resolution.

The lens is made from S-LAH64, a high-quality optical glass from Ohara, which is known for its excellent transmittance in the NIR region. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' SWIR-Plus coating (edm swirplus90017003), which is specifically designed to enhance the lens' performance in the 900-1700nm range. This coating provides improved transmission, reduces surface reflections, and protects the lens from environmental hazards.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 20mm, providing a moderate magnification. The front and back surfaces of the lens are aspherized, and the lens has a center thickness of 7.6mm and an edge thickness of 2.3mm. The lens is available for immediate purchase and is currently in stock.
