The 47-057 is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 25.4mm diameter and a focal length of 50.8mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), a material known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. This makes the 47-057 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission across a broad wavelength range.
The double-convex geometry of the lens, characterized by its two positively curved surfaces, provides a strong focusing power. The first surface has a radius of curvature of 39.61mm, while the second surface has a radius of -39.61mm. This geometry results in a back focal length of 48.51mm.
The lens is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for applications where anti-reflection coatings are not required or desired. However, for applications where minimizing surface reflections is crucial, coated versions of this lens are available from Edmund Optics.
