This product is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as item number 38-375, boasts an 18.0mm diameter and a 50.0mm focal length, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a plano surface on one side and a convex surface on the other. The convex surface has a radius of curvature of 25.84mm.
The lens's edge thickness measures 1.28mm, while the center thickness is 2.9mm. The back focal length is 48.09mm, and the effective focal length is 50mm. The lens does not have any inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
The lens is coated with EDM NIR-I std curve on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600nm and 1050nm. The coating ensures high transmission and minimal reflection, making it ideal for applications that require optimal light transmission in the NIR range.
