This is a high-quality 25mm diameter germanium aspheric lens, catalog number 68-256, available from Edmund Optics. The lens is specifically designed for infrared applications, with a wavelength of 4000µm. It features a focal length of 40mm and a numerical aperture of 0.31, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.
The lens is made from germanium burnett, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the infrared spectrum. The aspheric design of the lens helps to reduce spherical aberration, improving the overall image quality. The lens has a thickness of 2.38mm at the edge and 3.1mm at the center, providing robustness and durability.
The lens is coated with BBAR 8-12µm, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission and reduces surface reflections. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance.
