PLCC-15.0-51.5-C 15 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Grade Plano-Concave Lens; EFL=-100mm Uncoated
This is a PLCC-15.0-51.5-C 15 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Grade Plano-Concave Lens, designed for use in a variety of optical applications. The lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, features a plano-concave shape with a diameter of 15 mm and a center thickness of 2 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is -100mm, making it suitable for use in systems that require a negative focal length.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and wide transmission range. This particular lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to enhance its optical performance. However, it is still suitable for use in many applications, particularly where high damage threshold and low scatter are required.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for use in systems that operate within this wavelength range. It is important to note that the lens is spherical in shape, which can cause spherical aberration in some applications. However, this can often be corrected with the use of additional optical elements.
