The SLB-05B-20PIR2 is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, sourced from the reputable vendor OptoSigma. This lens is designed for use in the infrared spectrum, specifically between 750nm and 1550nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in this wavelength range.
The lens has a diameter of 5.0mm and a thickness at the edge of 1.1mm, while the thickness at the center is 1.4mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 20.2mm, which is a crucial parameter in lens selection. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 20.76mm, and the second radius of curvature (R2) is -20.76mm, indicating a double-convex lens design. The back focal length (BFL) is 19.8mm.
The lens is made from n-bk7 schott, a popular material for optical lenses due to its excellent optical properties. The lens is coated with opt ir2 on both the front and back surfaces, which is a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for the infrared spectrum.
