The 48-718-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0mm, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. The lens features a front and back coating of edm nir-i std curve, which is Edmund Optics' standard curve for NIR applications.
The lens has a thickness of 0.9mm at the edge and 1.42mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 18mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 9.3mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 17.07mm. The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a common optical glass with high homogeneity and low optical dispersion.
The lens is inked, a process that involves applying a dye to the edges of the lens to indicate its orientation. This is particularly useful during assembly to ensure the correct orientation of the lens. The lens is circular in base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
