The 88-851-INK is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Edmund Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 12.7mm, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6nm.
The lens features a YAG-BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces, which extends its usable wavelength range from 500nm to 1100nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission, making it suitable for various applications.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.72mm at the edge and 2.5mm at the center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 50.8mm. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 26.25mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 49.15mm. The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility.
