The 87-952 is a 50mm diameter, 50mm focal length plano-convex lens, designed for use with a 3-12µm wavelength. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is currently in stock.
The lens is made of Germanium burnett, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It features a coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the EDM ARCEDGERMANIUM31 coating, which is designed to enhance the lens' performance in the specified wavelength range.
The lens has a base shape of a circle, with a thickness of 2.9mm at the edge and 5mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 150.21mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 48.76mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm.
This lens is a spherical lens, meaning it has a spherical surface, which is the simplest type of lens surface. The spherical shape allows for a high degree of precision and consistency in the lens' optical properties.
