The 63-661 is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 5mm and a focal length of 20mm, is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. It features a double-convex geometry, with radii of curvature of 20.41mm for both the front and back surfaces. This geometry provides a high degree of focusing power, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The 63-661 lens comes with a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically the EDM VIS-NIR 0SP2002000 coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to minimize surface reflections and increase transmission in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, enhancing the lens's performance in various lighting conditions.
The lens has an edge thickness of 1.19mm and a center thickness of 1.5mm, providing a robust and durable structure. The back focal length is 19.5mm, and the effective focal length is 20mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal plane to the focal point.
