This is a 6.0mm diameter by 12.0mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, specifically designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, with a coating optimized for the 600-1050nm range. The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical components industry.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low auto-fluorescence. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is ideal for applications that require a high level of light concentration or collimation.
The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the EDM NIR-I std curve, a proprietary anti-reflection coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared spectrum, reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission.
The lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature. The edge thickness is 0.83mm, and the center thickness is 1.6mm, providing a robust and durable structure. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 12mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal plane to the focal point.
