The 49-361 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is specifically engineered for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, with a wavelength range of 400-1000nm. The lens boasts a 25mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 125mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from two types of glass: N-BK7 and N-SF5, both from Schott. These materials are chosen for their excellent optical properties, including low dispersion and high transmission in the specified wavelength range. The lens features a complex geometry, with three radii of curvature (r1, r2, and r3) and varying thicknesses at the edge, center, and center-a. This design helps to correct chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems, ensuring sharp and clear images.
The 49-361 lens is coated with Edmund Optics' proprietary VIS-NIR coating (edm visnir0sp2002000), which is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens's performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
