This is a 12mm diameter, double-convex lens with a focal length of 30mm, designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum (VIS-NIR), specifically covering the wavelength range of 400-1000nm. The lens is sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics.
The lens is made from the popular optical material, n-BK7 Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The double-convex shape, with radii of curvature of 30.36mm for both the front and back surfaces, ensures a high level of light concentration and minimal spherical aberration.
The lens features a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically the 'edm visnir0sp2002000' coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the VIS-NIR range, enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
The lens has a central thickness of 3.7mm and an edge thickness of 2.5mm, providing a robust and durable structure. The back focal length (BFL) is 28.75mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 30mm, which are crucial specifications for lens selection and system design.
