The 48-734-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.0mm, 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 1.41mm at the edge and 3mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 18mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 12.11mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 16.22mm, and the lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The lens is made from n-sf5 schott, a material known for its excellent optical properties in the NIR spectrum. The lens is inked, which is a process that adds a dye to the lens to make it easier to handle and identify.
