This product is a Plano-Convex Lens, offered by the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens boasts an 18.0mm diameter and a focal length of 18.0mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is constructed from n-SF11 Schott, a high-index glass material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for near-infrared (NIR) applications, as it offers high transmission in the 600-1050nm range.
The lens features a Plano-Convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (Plano), and the other side is curved (Convex). The curvature of the convex side is defined by a radius of 14.13mm. This geometry is commonly used in optical systems to focus or collimate light.
The lens also comes with a standard NIR I coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the NIR region, further expanding its range of applications.
In terms of dimensions, the lens has a thickness of 1.76mm at the edge and 5mm at the center. The back focal length (BFL) is 15.2mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 18mm.
