This is a Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, identified as the 62-582 model, is designed with a 12.7mm diameter and a focal length of 44.5mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material ensures high-quality image transmission and reduces chromatic aberration, making the lens ideal for use in imaging systems.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making the lens suitable for use in applications such as beam shaping, collimation, and imaging.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' NIR I standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600nm and 1050nm. It improves the lens's transmission, reduces reflection, and increases the overall system's efficiency.
The lens's geometry includes an edge thickness of 1.86mm and a center thickness of 2.75mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 42.69mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 44.5mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a sharp curvature on the convex side.
