The 48-735-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 standard for NIR applications.
The lens has a thickness of 1.25mm at the edge and 2.8mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 24.0mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 12.42mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 22.15mm. The lens is made of n-bk7 schott, a common material for optical lenses due to its excellent optical properties.
The lens is inked, which is a process that adds a dye to the lens to make it easier to handle and identify. This can be particularly useful in a lab or manufacturing setting where multiple lenses may be in use.
Please note that the lens is circular in base shape and the inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a flat surface on the uncoated side of the lens. This lens is a valuable addition to any NIR optical system, offering high-quality performance and reliable operation.
