The 38-363 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a circular base shape with a 12.5mm diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a thickness of 1.23mm at the edge, increasing to 2mm at the center, and a focal length of 50mm, contributing to its impressive optical performance.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low auto-fluorescence. This material makes the lens ideal for use in the 600-1050nm near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, as indicated by its NIR I coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, standard from Edmund Optics, is designed to enhance the lens's performance in the NIR range, ensuring optimal light transmission and minimal reflection.
