This is a 6.0mm diameter by 20mm focal length plano-convex lens, specifically designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, covering the wavelength range of 750-1550nm. The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading provider of optical components.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for its high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for imaging applications. The plano-convex design features a flat front surface and a curved back surface with a radius of curvature of 9.3mm. This design results in a back focal length of 17.07mm and an effective focal length of 18mm.
The lens features a standard thickness of 0.9mm at the edge and 1.42mm at the center, providing a robust and durable structure. The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' NIR-II standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance in the NIR spectrum.
This lens is suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, biomedical imaging, night vision, and spectral analysis. It is currently in stock, as indicated by its valid weblink status, making it readily available for immediate use.
