48-721 6.0mm Dia. x 30.0mm FL; NIR I Coated; Plano-Convex Lens NIR I 600-1050nm
The 48-721 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a diameter of 6mm and a focal length of 30mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens features a front and back coating of EDM NIR-I STD Curve, a specialized coating designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in this spectrum, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and other near-infrared-based technologies.
The geometry of the lens is also noteworthy. It has a thickness of 1.01mm at the edge and 1.3mm at the center, providing a balanced profile for efficient light transmission. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a simple, straightforward design that is easy to integrate into various optical systems.
