The 48-744 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, a type of spherical lens characterized by having one side flat and the other side curved outwards. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasts a diameter of 12.0mm and a focal length of 100.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is particularly suitable for applications that require high image quality and minimal chromatic aberration.
The 48-744 features a front and back coating of EDM NIR-I STD Curve. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. It improves the lens's transmission, reduces reflection, and increases its durability, making it an excellent choice for applications in this spectral range.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 2.15mm and a thickness center of 2.5mm. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a symmetrical curvature. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 100.0mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 98.35mm.
According to the provided data, this lens is currently in stock, and you can find more information about it, including pricing and availability, on the Edmund Optics website.
