This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 48-248 model, boasts a diameter of 50.0mm and a focal length of 150.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from the high-quality material, n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 4.86mm at the edge and 9mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 150.0mm. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM VIS-0 STD CURVE coating, designed to enhance the lens's performance within the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm.
The lens's base shape is circular, and its shape is spherical, which is a common design for optical lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and high optical quality. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The radius of curvature (R1) of the curved surface is 77.52mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 144.07mm.
The lens's web links are valid and indicate that it is currently in stock, making it readily available for immediate use. This lens is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable optical component for their optical system.
