The 33-963 is a high-performance aspheric lens, 15mm in diameter, designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600 and 1050nm. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for immediate use, as indicated by its validated in-stock status.
The lens is made from UVFS (Ultra-Violet Fused Silica), a material known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. This makes the 33-963 suitable for a wide range of applications that require high-quality imaging in these spectra.
The lens features a high numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75, which allows for a wide angle of view and increased light-gathering capability. The effective focal length (EFL) is 10mm, providing a moderate magnification suitable for many imaging tasks.
The aspheric design of the lens helps to correct spherical aberration, a common issue in traditional spherical lenses. This results in improved image quality, with less distortion and sharper focus, especially at the edges of the field of view.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' NIR coating, designed for the 600-1050nm range. This coating enhances the lens's transmission in the near-infrared spectrum, reducing reflection and improving overall light transmission.
