The 87-918-INK is a plano-convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 5.0mm, is designed for use in the visible to near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectrum, specifically between 400-1000nm.
The lens features a front and back coating of edm visnir0sp2002000, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating optimized for the VIS-NIR range. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the transmission of light through the lens.
The lens has a thickness of 1.4mm at the edge and 1.6mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 30.0mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 15.5mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 28.95mm. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
This lens is in stock and available for immediate purchase from the Edmund Optics website, as indicated by its weblink status. The 87-918-INK is a reliable and high-performing option for applications in the VIS-NIR spectrum.
