68-257 25mm Dia. Germanium Infrared Aspheric Lens; EFL=50mm; NA=0.25 BBAR 8-12µm
This is the 68-257 model from Edmund Optics, a 25mm diameter Germanium Aspheric Lens designed for infrared applications with a wavelength of 4000nm. The lens boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.25, 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. It features a precision-ground aspheric surface, which helps to minimize spherical aberration and distortion, thereby improving image quality.
The lens has a center thickness of 3mm and an edge thickness of 2.45mm, providing robustness and durability. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with EDMD ARCEDGERMANIUM81, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission and reduces surface reflections in the 8-12µm range.
The lens geometry includes an inner radius of 0mm, an outer radius of 0mm, and a clear aperture of 25mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 48.44mm, and the lens has a shape factor of aspheric.
