This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 45-481, is characterized by its 12.0mm diameter and 15.0mm focal length, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is fabricated from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical crown glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat, and the other side is curved. This particular lens has a radius of curvature of 7.75mm.
The lens's edge thickness is 1.66mm, while the center thickness is 4.5mm. The back focal length is 12.03mm, and the effective focal length is 15mm. The lens does not have any inner or outer radius specified, indicating a uniform curvature.
The lens is coated with EDM VIS-NIR 0SP2002000, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for the visible and near-infrared spectrum (400-1000nm). This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, making it ideal for applications that require high light transmission and minimal loss.
