This 12mm diameter by 72mm focal length double-convex lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, is specifically designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, covering the wavelength range of 750-1550nm. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its high transmission and low auto-fluorescence in the NIR region.
The lens features a standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as 'edm nir-ii std curve'. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the NIR region, improving transmission and reducing surface reflections.
The geometry of the lens includes a center thickness of 2.8mm and an edge thickness of 2.31mm. The front and back radii of curvature are 73.97mm and -73.97mm respectively, resulting in a back focal length of 71.07mm. The lens is spherical in shape, a common design for its ease of manufacturing and versatility.
