This is a 49-915 Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the reputable optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens boasts a 9.0mm diameter and a focal length of 12.0mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is crafted from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass that offers excellent optical performance. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat, and the other side is curved. This geometry is particularly useful in applications where a collimated beam needs to be focused to a spot.
The lens comes with a front and back coating of edm visnir0sp2002000, a VIS-NIR coating that spans the spectrum from 400 to 1000nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the visible and near-infrared regions, making it ideal for applications such as spectroscopy, biomedical imaging, and machine vision.
The lens has a center thickness of 2.5mm and an edge thickness of 1.36mm, providing a good balance between weight and optical performance. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a sharp curvature that contributes to the lens's focusing power.
