The 49-331 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is specifically designed for use in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, spanning 400-1000nm. The lens features a 12.5 mm diameter and an effective focal length (EFL) of 80mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is composed of two elements, made from N-BK7 and N-SF5 Schott glass, respectively. These materials are chosen for their excellent optical properties, particularly their low dispersion, which helps to minimize chromatic aberration. The first element has a radius of curvature (R1) of 49.62mm, while the second element has an R1 of -35.73mm and an R2 of -103.22mm. The center thickness of the lens is 2.1mm, with a reduced thickness of 1.6mm at the edge.
The lens is coated with Edmund Optics' VIS-NIR coating (edm visnir0sp2002000), which is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens's performance in the VIS-NIR spectrum, improving transmission and reducing reflection.
The 49-331 is a multiplet lens, meaning it is composed of multiple elements. This design allows for more precise control over the lens's optical properties, making it suitable for more demanding applications. Despite its complexity, the lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase.
