The 48-952 is a 9mm diameter, 27mm focal length Plano-Convex lens, designed for use within the visible light spectrum, specifically between 425-675nm. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this lens boasts a standard anti-reflection coating on both the front and back surfaces, optimized for 0° angle of incidence, ensuring minimal light loss due to reflection.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a 1.15mm edge thickness and a 2mm center thickness, with a 12.38mm radius of curvature on the curved face. The back focal length measures 25.63mm, while the effective focal length is 27mm. The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths, making it suitable for various applications.
The lens's shape is spherical, a common choice for its simplicity and versatility. The lack of an inner or outer radius indicates a uniform curvature across the lens's surface. This lens is a reliable choice for applications requiring a simple, high-performing optical component within the specified wavelength range.
