The 49-523 is a 9.0mm diameter Plano-Concave Lens with a focal length of -18, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use within the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm.
The lens is constructed from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent transmittance in the NIR range. It features a plano-concave geometry, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved inward. This design is often used to correct aberrations in optical systems.
The 49-523 lens has a thickness of 2.89mm at the edge and 2.25mm at the center. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a symmetrical curvature. The back focal length (BFL) is -19.26mm.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' NIR I standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the NIR range, improving transmission and reducing reflection.
