The 49-356 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens, with a 25 mm diameter, is specifically engineered for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm.
The lens is constructed from two types of Schott glass, N-BAF10 and N-SF10, which are renowned for their excellent optical properties. The use of these materials in a doublet configuration helps to correct chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems where different wavelengths of light are focused at different points.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 8.79mm at the edge, with a central thickness of 9mm and a thickness of 2.5mm at the center a. The lens also features radii of curvature of 34.53mm, -21.98mm, and -214.63mm for r1, r2, and r3 respectively.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' VIS-NIR coating (edm visnir0sp2002000), which is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, improving transmission and reducing reflection.
