The 45-783 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 6 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 9 mm, specifically designed for use within the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of 750-1550 nm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available directly from their website.
The lens is constructed from two distinct materials: N-LAK22 and N-SF6, both from Schott. These materials were carefully selected to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring optimal image quality across the entire NIR-II spectral range. The lens features a sophisticated coating on both the front and back surfaces, further enhancing its performance within the NIR spectrum. The coating is Edmund Optics' standard NIR-II coating, which provides excellent transmission and durability.
The lens geometry is intricately designed, with a thickness of 4.26 mm at the edge, 4 mm at the center, and 1.3 mm at the center aperture (aperture 'a'). The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, and the lens has a base shape of a circle. The first and second radii (r1 and r2) are 7.34 mm and -4.18 mm, respectively, while the third radius (r3) is -11.58 mm.
