The 38-385-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 35.0mm, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. The lens features a front and back coating of edm nir-i std curve, providing enhanced performance in the NIR range.
The lens has a thickness of 1.45mm at the edge and 4.5mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 100.0mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 51.68mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 97.03mm. The lens is made from n-bk7 schott, a common material for optical lenses due to its excellent optical properties.
The lens is inked, a process that involves applying a dye to the surface of the lens to enhance contrast and make it easier to handle during assembly. This lens is a valuable addition to any optical system that operates within the NIR spectrum, offering high-quality performance and reliable operation.
