The 16-976 is a high-precision aspheric lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is characterized by its 20mm diameter and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.8, specifically designed for use within the near-infrared spectrum of 600-1050nm.
The lens is constructed from N-SF6 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The aspheric design of the lens allows for superior image quality, minimizing spherical aberration and distortion often associated with traditional spherical lenses.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 12.5mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications where compactness and high performance are required. The lens thickness at the edge is 5.01mm, while the center thickness is 10.5mm, providing robustness and structural integrity.
The lens features a specialized coating, Edmund Optics NIR-Plus 600-1050nm, which is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance within the specified near-infrared spectrum, improving transmission and reducing reflection.
According to the vendor's information, the lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase. The product's webpage provides further details and specifications, including a comprehensive list of optical properties and performance characteristics.
