The PLCC-10.0-11.5-SF11 is a laser grade plano-concave spherical lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics. This lens boasts a 10 mm diameter and a center thickness of 2 mm, making it a compact yet robust optical component. The lens's concave shape, with a radius of curvature of -11.5 mm, contributes to its focusing capabilities. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is -15 mm, indicating its diverging nature, which is typical for plano-concave lenses.
This lens is crafted from N-SF11, a high-index glass from Schott, which is renowned for its excellent optical properties. The N-SF11 material is particularly suitable for applications in the 588 nm wavelength range. The lens is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for applications where coating is not a necessity. However, users should be aware that uncoated lenses may have reduced transmission and increased susceptibility to environmental factors compared to coated alternatives.
