This is a 20 mm diameter achromatic doublet lens, manufactured by Edmund Optics, with a catalog number 49-958-INK. The lens is currently in stock and available for purchase through the provided weblink. The lens is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, spanning 400 to 1000 nanometers.
The lens is a multiplet, specifically an achromatic doublet, meaning it is composed of two elements made from different materials to correct chromatic aberration. The first element is made from N-BK7, a common crown glass, and the second from N-SF5, a dense flint glass. These materials are sourced from Schott, a renowned optical glass manufacturer.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 80mm, making it suitable for moderate magnification applications. The lens geometry includes a central thickness of 4mm, with the edge thickness measuring 4.51mm. The lens features a front and back coating of EDm VIS-NIR 0SP2002000, providing broadband anti-reflection coating for the visible and near-infrared spectrum.
This lens is ideal for applications that require high-quality imaging or light collection in the visible to near-infrared range, such as spectroscopy, machine vision, or optical metrology.
