The 63-717 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This lens is specifically engineered for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, with a wavelength range of 400-1000nm. The lens is constructed from two types of Schott glass, N-BAF10 and N-SF10, which are renowned for their excellent optical properties.
The lens has a diameter of 10mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of 15mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. The geometry of the lens is carefully crafted, with a central thickness of 5.5mm and edge thickness of 6.01mm, ensuring optimal light transmission and minimal distortion. The lens features a front and back coating of EDm VIS-NIR 0SP2002000, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics, which further enhances its performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum.
The lens is designed in the shape of a multiplet, which is a combination of multiple individual lenses. This design provides superior optical performance, reducing chromatic aberration and improving image quality. The lens has an inner radius of 0mm and an outer radius of 0mm, indicating a symmetrical design that further contributes to its high-performance characteristics.
