This is a 25mm diameter by 75mm focal length double-convex lens, specifically designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics and is currently in stock. It is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and chemical durability.
The lens features a standard NIR I coating on both the front and back surfaces, which enhances its performance in the 600-1050nm wavelength range. This coating reduces surface reflections, increases transmission, and improves overall image quality.
The geometry of the lens includes a center thickness of 3.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.45mm. The front and back radii of curvature are 76.66mm and -76.66mm respectively, resulting in a back focal length of 73.84mm. The lens has a spherical shape, which is the most common and simplest type of lens surface.
