The 48-644 is a 2.5mm diameter, 5.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Edmund Optics. This uncoated lens is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where high-quality imaging is required.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a 0.61mm edge thickness and a 0.8mm center thickness, ensuring robustness and durability. The effective focal length (EFL) is 5mm, making it suitable for systems that require a compact, high-performance lens. The lens's design includes a 4.25mm radius of curvature (ROC) for the curved face, resulting in a back focal length (BFL) of 4.57mm.
The lens is made from Schott's n-lasf9 material, a high-quality optical glass renowned for its excellent transmission properties in the visible spectrum. The material's Abbe number is 58.76, indicating a low dispersion, which is beneficial for imaging applications.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. While this may result in a higher reflectivity at the air-glass interface, it also means the lens is more cost-effective and easier to clean.
