PLCX-12.0-10.3-C 12 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=20mm Uncoated

The PLCX-12.0-10.3-C is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, designed for use in laser applications. This lens boasts a 12 mm diameter and a focal length of 20 mm, making it ideal for focusing or collimating light in a variety of setups.

The lens is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including a high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optics. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a natural finish is preferred.

The lens has a curvature radius of 10.3 mm on the convex side, with a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.9 mm at the center. The lens's geometry is designed to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring that the light passing through the lens remains focused and undistorted.

The lens is available from IDEX Optics & Photonics, a leading provider of optical components. According to their website, the lens is currently in stock, ensuring quick delivery times. Further information about this lens, including a detailed datasheet, can be found on the IDEX Optics & Photonics website.
