The 45-486-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.0mm, is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, specifically between 400-1000nm. The lens has a front ( convex ) radius of curvature of 24.82mm and a back ( plano ) radius of curvature of 0mm.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 48.0mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point when the lens is imaging an object at infinity. The lens's central thickness is 2.5mm, while its edge thickness is 1.76mm. The back focal length (BFL) of the lens is 46.36mm, which is the distance from the lens's rear principal point to its focal point.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common type of optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The lens is coated with the EDM VISNIR0SP2002000 coating on both the front and back surfaces, which is designed for high transmission in the VIS-NIR range.
