The 45-696-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0mm, is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 400-1000nm. The lens has a front focal length (FL) of 72.0mm, which is the distance from the front surface of the lens to the principal focus.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.48mm at the edge and 1.6mm at the center. The back focal length (BFL) is 70.97mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 37.22mm. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens is coated with edm visnir0sp2002000 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed for the visible to near-infrared spectrum, enhancing the lens's performance in this range. The lens is also inked, a process that aids in identifying and handling the lens during assembly and use.
