The 45-499-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 20.0mm, is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its edge thickness of 1.0mm and center thickness of 4.6mm. It has an effective focal length (EFL) of 20.0mm, a front radius (R1) of 15.7mm, and a back focal length (BFL) of 17.42mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat inner surface and a curved outer surface.
The lens is made from N-SF11 Schott, a popular material for optical elements due to its high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems.
The lens features a VIS-NIR coating, specifically the EDM VISNIR0SP2002000 coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens's performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, improving transmission and reducing reflection.
