The 45-790 is a high-performance achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 6 mm diameter and an effective focal length of 40mm, specifically designed for use within the Near-Infrared II spectrum (750-1550nm). This lens is sourced from the esteemed 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 the reputable Schott glass catalog. These materials have been carefully selected to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring optimal image quality across the entire NIR II spectrum. The lens features a sophisticated geometry, with a thickness of 4.08mm at the edge, and a center thickness of 3mm, which can be further reduced to 1.3mm if necessary.
The 45-790 lens is coated with Edmund Optics' proprietary NIR-II Standard Curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance within the NIR II spectrum, further bolstering its suitability for applications in this range.
