The 63-815 is a 25mm diameter, 250mm focal length plano-convex lens, specifically designed for use in the visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm. This lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, ensuring a wide field of view and minimal distortion.
The lens's geometry is meticulously crafted, with a 2.03mm edge thickness and a 2.71mm center thickness, providing a robust and durable structure. The effective focal length (EFL) is 250mm, and the front radius (R1) is 114.61mm, contributing to its high-performance imaging capabilities.
The lens is constructed from fused silica (mal-1965), a material known for its excellent transmittance and resistance to thermal shock. This makes the 63-815 an ideal choice for applications requiring high-precision imaging in demanding environments.
The lens features a broadband anti-reflection coating, both on the front and back surfaces, specifically the 'edm visnir0sp2002000' coating. This coating enhances the lens's light transmission capabilities, reducing surface reflections and improving overall image quality.
