This is a Plano-Convex Lens, type 45-472, with a diameter of 6.0mm and a focal length of 30.0mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens is designed for use within the visible to near-infrared spectrum, specifically catering to wavelengths between 400-1000nm.
The lens is made from the high-quality material n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). The radius of curvature for the curved side is 15.5mm, and the lens has a central thickness of 1.3mm and an edge thickness of 1.01mm. The back focal length is 29.14mm, and the effective focal length is 30mm.
The lens is coated with a VIS-NIR coating, specifically the EDM VISNIR0SP2002000 coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance within the visible to near-infrared spectrum by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission.
