The 63-508 is a Plano-Convex Lens offered by Edmund Optics, designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600 and 1050nm. This lens, with a diameter of 10.0mm and a focal length of 10.0mm, is a Spherical Lens, which means it has a curved surface that evenly distributes the light across the sensor.
The lens is made from n-sf11 Schott, a high-index glass with excellent transmittance in the NIR range. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with EDM NIR-I std curve, a coating specifically designed for near-infrared applications, which enhances the lens's performance and durability.
The lens has a thickness of 1.45mm at the edge and 3.25mm at the center. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a symmetrical design. The back focal length (BFL) is 8.18mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 10mm.
This lens is a great choice for applications that require high-quality imaging in the near-infrared spectrum, such as night vision, thermal imaging, and scientific research. It is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, making it a readily available option for your optical needs.
