The LPX-8.0-9.3-C is an 8 mm diameter, plano-convex 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 high quality and precision.
The lens features a focal length (EFL) of 18mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The radius of curvature (R1) is 9.3mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, suggesting a simple, straightforward design. The edge thickness is 2mm, while the center thickness is 2.9mm, providing a good balance between weight and optical performance.
This lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it can also make the lens more cost-effective and suitable for applications where such coatings are not necessary or desirable.
The lens data is available for download from the CVI Laser Optics website, ensuring transparency and easy verification of the lens specifications. This lens is currently in stock, indicating its availability for immediate purchase and delivery.
