The 68-016 is a double-concave lens with a diameter of 25mm and a focal length of -50mm, making it a negatively powered lens. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical components. The lens is designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 750nm and 1550nm, making it suitable for various applications in this range.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This ensures low dispersion and high optical quality. The lens features a standard curve coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the EDM NIR-II coating. This coating is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the NIR spectrum, reducing reflection and increasing transmission.
The lens' geometry includes an edge thickness of 5.4mm and a center thickness of 2.5mm. The front and back radii are -52.1mm and 52.1mm, respectively, contributing to the lens' double-concave shape. The back focal length is -50.82mm, slightly shorter than the nominal focal length due to the lens' concave shape.
