This optical component is a 100mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a focal length of 1000mm, sourced from the reputable vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens is made from the popular N-BK7 Schott glass, which is known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens features a front and back coating of EDM NIR-I std curve, which enhances its performance in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 600-1050nm. This coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission, making it ideal for applications that require high-quality imaging or light transmission in the NIR range.
The lens geometry includes a 2.76mm edge thickness and a 3mm center thickness, providing robustness and stability. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the lens is defined by a 51.68mm radius, which contributes to its focal length of 1000mm.
This lens is a spherical type, which means it has the same curvature in all meridional sections, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems. The lens is also circular in shape, allowing it to be easily integrated into various optical setups.
