The 63-508-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 10.0mm, 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 1.45mm at the edge and 3.25mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 10mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 7.85mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 8.18mm, and the lens does not have an inner or outer radius. The lens is made from N-SF11 Schott, a material known for its excellent optical properties in the NIR range.
The lens is inked, a process that involves applying a dye to the edge of the lens to indicate its orientation. This is particularly useful in applications where the lens may be subject to rotation or where precise alignment is critical.
The lens is available directly from Edmund Optics, and the provided web link indicates that it is currently in stock. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require immediate availability of components.
