The 88-804-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens has a diameter of 6.0mm and a focal length of 30.0mm, making it suitable for a variety of optical applications. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high homogeneity.
The lens features a YAG-BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, which stands for Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Broadband Anti-Reflective coating, is designed to operate within the 500-1100nm wavelength range. It significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system performance.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.01mm at the edge and 1.3mm at the center. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a sharp edge and a flat back surface. The back focal length (BFL) is 29.14mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 30mm.
The lens is inked, which is a process where a dye is applied to the edge of the lens to indicate its orientation. This is particularly useful during assembly to ensure the correct orientation of the lens in the optical system.
