The 65-974 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a 12.5 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, specifically designed for UV-VIS applications within the wavelength range of 345-700nm.
The lens is constructed from two types of Schott glass, N-FK5 and F2HT, each with its unique refractive indices and dispersion properties. This combination helps to minimize chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems where different wavelengths of light are focused at different points.
The lens geometry is meticulously designed, with a central thickness of 3.5mm and edge thickness of 4.55mm. The first and second radii of curvature are R1=29.11mm and R2=-25.27mm, respectively, while the third radius of curvature, R3, is -71.39mm. These parameters contribute to the lens's overall optical performance.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' standard UV-VIS coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's transmission capabilities within the specified UV-VIS range, further optimizing its performance for its intended application.
