PLCX-12.7-10.0-UV 12.7 mm Dia. UVFS Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=20mm Uncoated

The PLCX-12.7-10.0-UV is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, a high-quality optical component designed for use in laser applications. Manufactured by CVI Laser Optics, this lens boasts a 12.7 mm diameter and a focal length of 20 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of laser systems.

The lens is made from UVFS, a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet spectrum, specifically at 266 nm. This makes it ideal for use in UV laser applications, where high power and precision are required.

The lens geometry is characterized by a convex surface with a radius of curvature of 9.99 mm and a thickness that varies from 2.72 mm at the edge to 5 mm at the center. This design ensures a high level of optical performance, with minimal spherical aberration and distortion.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. While this may result in a higher level of reflection at the air-glass interface, it also ensures a high level of durability and resistance to environmental factors.

According to the vendor, this lens is in stock and available for immediate shipping. Further information about this product can be found in the vendor's catalog, available at https://www.idexot.com/media/wysiwyg/cms-pages/pdf/2-Spherical_Lenses.pdf.
