The 62-578-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.7mm, is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. The lens features a front and back coating of edm nir-i std curve, providing enhanced performance in the NIR range.
The lens has a thickness of 1.69mm at the edge and 4mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 19.1mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 9.87mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 16.46mm. The lens is made from n-bk7 schott material, a common choice for its high Abbe number and low dispersion.
The lens is inked, a process that adds a dye or pigment to the surface of the lens. This can be used for marking or identifying the lens, or for absorbing unwanted light. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature across the surface.
This lens is a versatile option for applications that require a compact, high-performing lens in the NIR spectrum. It is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, making it a readily available solution for your optical needs.
