This is a high-quality Double-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. The lens, with a diameter of 5mm and a focal length of 15mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical applications, particularly those requiring broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating.
The lens is made from the high-grade material, n-BK7 Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission and low auto-fluorescence. The base shape of the lens is circular, ensuring uniform light distribution and minimal distortion.
The lens features a BBAR coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to cover the wavelength range of 500-1100nm. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby enhancing the overall transmission efficiency of the lens. The BBAR coating also helps to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp and clear images.
The geometry of the lens includes an edge thickness of 1.58mm and a center thickness of 2mm. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout the lens. The back focal length (BFL) is 14.33mm.
In terms of shape, the lens is spherical, which is the most common and versatile lens shape. The spherical shape ensures a smooth and even curvature, minimizing optical aberrations and distortions.
