This product is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as 47-860, boasts a 5.0mm diameter and a 15.0mm focal length, making it a compact yet powerful optical component.
The lens is crafted from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material ensures high-quality imaging and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens's geometry is spherical, with a 7.75mm radius on the curved face and a 13.94mm back focal length. The edge thickness measures 1.19mm, while the center thickness is 1.6mm, providing a robust yet lightweight structure.
The lens features a VIS-NIR coating, specifically the EDM VISNIR0SP2002000 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm. It reduces surface reflections, improves transmission, and increases the lens's overall efficiency, making it an ideal choice for applications in this spectral range.
