The 48-742-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 has a focal length (FL) of 72.0mm, which is the distance between the lens and the point where the light rays converge.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.91mm at the edge and 2.4mm at the center. The back focal length (BFL) is 70.42mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 72mm. The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM NIR-I standard curve coating, which is designed to enhance performance in the NIR spectrum.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and relatively low cost. The lens's shape is spherical, with an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm.
