88-672-INK 12.0mm Dia. x 15.0mm FL; VIS-EXT; Inked; Plano-Convex Lens VIS-EXT 350-700nm
The 88-672-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.0mm, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically between 350-700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features a front and back coating of EDM VIS EXT, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for use in the visible spectrum. This coating helps to reduce surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the lens.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.66mm at the edge and 4.5mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 15.0mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 7.75mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 17.69mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a flat surface on the opposite side of the convex curve.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a common optical glass used in a variety of applications due to its excellent optical properties and relatively low cost. This material has a refractive index of approximately 1.5168 at 587.6nm, the wavelength at which the lens is designed to operate.
