17-010 40mm Dia. N-SF6 Precision Aspheric Lens; EFL=25mm; NA=0.8 SWIR-Plus 900-1700nm

The 17-010 is a high-precision aspheric lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 40mm diameter and a 0.8 numerical aperture, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a high level of light gathering and resolution.

The lens is crafted from N-SF6 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region, specifically between 900 and 1700nm. This makes the 17-010 particularly suitable for applications in fields such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and night vision.

The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 25mm, providing a good balance between field of view and magnification. The aspheric design of the lens helps to reduce spherical aberration, a common issue in traditional spherical lenses, resulting in improved image quality and resolution.

The 17-010 is coated with Edmund Optics' SWIR-Plus coating, which is specifically designed for use in the 900-1700nm range. This coating helps to enhance the transmission of light through the lens, reducing reflection and improving overall system efficiency.

The lens has a thickness of 2.4mm at the edge and 13.1mm at the center, providing structural rigidity while minimizing unnecessary weight. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the same SWIR-Plus coating, ensuring optimal performance from all angles.
