PLCC-10.0-11.5-SF11 10 mm Dia. N-SF11 Laser Grade Plano-Concave Lens; EFL=-15mm Uncoated

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.

The lens's geometry, including its inner and outer radii, are optimized for the specified application, ensuring optimal performance.
