The 45-792 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 12 mm diameter and a focal length of 20 mm, specifically designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, covering the wavelength range of 750-1550 nm. This lens is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is a multiplet type, ensuring superior image quality and minimal chromatic aberration.
The lens is constructed from two types of Schott glass, N-LAK22 and N-SF6, which are renowned for their excellent optical properties in the near-infrared range. The lens features a robust design, with a thickness of 8.65 mm at the edge and 8 mm at the center, ensuring durability and stability. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0, indicating a symmetrical design that further contributes to its optical performance.
The 45-792 lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard NIR-II coating on both the front and back surfaces, which is specifically designed to enhance its performance in the near-infrared spectrum. This coating helps to reduce reflection and increase transmission, thereby improving the overall image quality.
