The 48-721-INK is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a 6.0mm diameter, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in this spectral region.
The lens features a 30.0mm focal length (FL), which is the distance between the lens and the point where light rays converge. This is an important parameter to consider when selecting a lens for your application, as it directly impacts the field of view and the focus of your system.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number, which ensures low chromatic aberration. The lens has a center thickness of 1.3mm and an edge thickness of 1.01mm, providing a good balance between optical performance and structural rigidity.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard NIR-I coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the NIR region, improving transmission and reducing reflection. The coating status is reported as "in stock", indicating that the lens is readily available for immediate use.
