The 88-697-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 15.0mm, 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, a coating type that enhances its performance in the visible light spectrum. The lens has a thickness of 1.25mm at the edge and 3.18mm at the center, providing a base for various mounting and integration options.
The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 30.0mm, a characteristic that influences the convergence or divergence of light passing through it. The lens's front surface has a radius of curvature of 15.52mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 27.9mm.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. This material ensures high transmission and low dispersion, making it an ideal choice for various optical systems.
