The 63-632 is a high-quality double-convex lens, 10mm in diameter and 15mm in focal length, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is designed for use within the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 600 and 1050 nanometers, making it suitable for a wide range of applications within this wavelength range.
The lens is constructed from Schott's n-BK7 glass, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens features a standard curvature coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically Edmund Optics' NIR-I coating, which is designed to enhance performance within the NIR spectrum.
The geometry of the lens is characterized by a 10mm diameter, a 1.77mm edge thickness, and a 3.5mm center thickness. The front and back radii of curvature are 14.88mm and -14.88mm, respectively, resulting in a back focal length of 13.8mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 15mm.
The lens is spherical in shape, a common design for its type due to its ease of manufacturing and versatility. The lack of inner and outer radii specifications suggests that this lens is a simple, bare lens without any additional shaping or coatings on its edges.
