This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 62-579 model, boasts a diameter of 12.7mm and a focal length of 25.4mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is crafted from the high-quality material, N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it ideal for use in the visible and near-infrared spectrum.
The lens features a standard coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the EDM NIR-I std curve. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the near-infrared region, specifically between 600nm and 1050nm. It aids in reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.36mm at the edge and 3mm at the center. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a plano-convex shape, which is optimal for focusing light onto a single point.
