The 47-740 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, boasting a 40 mm diameter and an effective focal length of 160 mm, specifically designed for the visible light spectrum ranging from 425 to 675 nm. 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 9.48 mm thickness at the edge, a center thickness of 8.5 mm, and a 4 mm thickness at the back surface (a). The radii of the lens surfaces are R1 = 98.66 mm, R2 = -70.73 mm, and R3 = -205.72 mm, contributing to the lens's superior optical properties.
This achromatic doublet lens is a multiplet, meaning it consists of multiple elements to correct chromatic aberrations and improve overall image quality. The detailed parameters and specifications make the 47-740 an ideal choice for various applications requiring high-performance optical components.
