The 48-693 is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens falls under the category of a Spherical Lens (Concave-Concave) and is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm.
The lens has a diameter of 6mm and a center thickness of 1mm, with an edge thickness of 1.59mm. It boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of -12mm, making it a double-concave lens. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM VIS-0 STD CURVE coating, which is designed for use in the visible light spectrum.
The lens's first radius of curvature (R1) is -12.57mm, while the second radius of curvature (R2) is 12.57mm. The back focal length (BFL) is -12.33mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott material, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is widely used in various optical applications due to its superior optical properties.
