The 45-496-INK is a plano-convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 18.0mm, is designed for use within the visible to near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 400-1000nm. The lens has a front ( convex ) radius of 18.62mm and a back focal length of 33.65mm.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 1.25mm and a thickness center of 3.57mm, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 36mm. 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 specified wavelength range.
The lens is made from n-bk7 schott material, a common choice for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties. The lens's base shape is circular, and its geometry is spherical. The lens's web links are valid and indicate that it is currently in stock, making it readily available for your optical needs.
