This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 47-336, is designed with a 12.0mm diameter and a focal length of 48.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.76mm at the edge, increasing to 2.5mm at the center, providing a solid structure for efficient light transmission.
The lens features a standard Visible (VIS) coating, specifically designed for 0 degrees. This coating, applied to both the front and back surfaces, enhances the lens's performance in the visible light spectrum, particularly between 425-675nm. The coating helps reduce surface reflections, improving the overall transmission and quality of the light passing through the lens.
The lens's shape is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 24.82mm at the front surface. This shape, combined with the lens's material and coating, contributes to its high-performance capabilities.
