This 40mm diameter x 60mm focal length (FL) double-convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in the visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, specifically covering the 400-1000nm range.
The lens features a base shape of a circle and is constructed with a Schott n-BK7 material, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens's geometry includes a diameter of 40mm, an edge thickness of 2mm, and a center thickness of 8.8mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 60mm, and the radii of curvature are 60.56mm for the first surface and -60.56mm for the second surface. The back focal length (BFL) is 57.1mm.
The lens's surfaces are coated with the EDM VIS-NIR 0SP2002000 coating on both the front and back, enhancing its performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum. This coating reduces surface reflections and increases transmission, making it suitable for various applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems.
