The 49-785 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens from Edmund Optics, designed for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically catering to the 400-1000nm range. This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple optical elements to achieve superior performance.
The lens boasts a 12.7 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 19.1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The geometry of the lens is carefully crafted, with an edge thickness of 4.72 mm and a center thickness of 5.25 mm. The lens also features an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm, further enhancing its optical performance.
The 49-785 lens is made from two types of high-quality Schott glass: N-BAF10 and N-SF6. These materials are chosen for their excellent optical properties, particularly their low dispersion, which helps to minimize chromatic aberration. The 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 improving transmission.
