This is a 48-705 Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from Edmund Optics. The lens has a diameter of 4.0mm and a focal length of 10.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). The curvature of the convex side is defined by a radius of 5.19mm. This geometry is commonly used in optical systems due to its simplicity and effectiveness. The lens has a central thickness of 1.64mm and an edge thickness of 1.24mm, providing structural integrity and minimizing optical distortions.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' NIR I standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600nm and 1050nm. It improves transmission, reduces reflections, and protects the lens from environmental hazards, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and laser systems.
