The LPK-8.0-7.8-C is an 8 mm diameter, plano-concave spherical lens made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, is an image grade component, indicating its superior quality and suitability for high-resolution applications.
The lens's geometry features a center thickness of 2 mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of -15 mm, making it suitable for use in imaging systems where a negative lens is required. The concave surface of the lens has a radius of curvature of -7.8 mm. The lens is uncoated, which may be desirable for applications where specific coatings are not required or for users who wish to apply their own coatings.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, a common visible light wavelength. However, its performance at other wavelengths may vary. The lens's base shape is circular, providing versatility in its application.
