The 48-718 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 6.0mm diameter and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape is circular, and the lens features a planar surface on one side and a convex surface on the other. The edge thickness measures 0.92mm, while the center thickness is 1.42mm, providing a solid structure for efficient light transmission.
The 48-718 lens is coated with EDM NIR-I std curve on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances its performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600nm and 1050nm. The coating ensures high transmission rates and reduces surface reflections, making it ideal for applications that require optimal light transmission and minimal loss.
The lens's geometry includes an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, further optimizing its light transmission capabilities. The effective focal length (EFL) is 18.0mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 17.07mm, providing a clear focus point for optical systems.
