The 47-665 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 12.5 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 40mm, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum ranging from 425 to 675nm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for purchase through their website.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass, N-BK7 and N-SF5, both from Schott, ensuring excellent optical performance. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM VIS-0 standard curve coating, providing improved light transmission and protection against environmental factors.
The lens geometry is carefully designed with a 3.88mm thickness at the edge, a 3.73mm thickness at the center, and a 24.77mm and -18.01mm radius for the first and second surfaces, respectively. The lens also features a -51.17mm radius on the third surface, contributing to its achromatic properties.
This lens is classified as a multiplet, indicating that it consists of multiple optical elements. The multiplet design helps to correct chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems, making this lens an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
