PLCX-12.7-99.9-UV 12.7 mm Dia. UVFS Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=200mm Uncoated

This is the PLCX-12.7-99.9-UV, a 12.7 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, specifically designed for use with UVFS material and a wavelength of 266 nm. The lens is sourced from CVI Laser Optics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance or alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and scratches.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 200mm, which is the distance from the center of the lens to the point where the light rays converge. This is a crucial parameter in lens selection as it directly impacts the focus and magnification of the system.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3.8mm at the edge and 4mm at the center. The lens is spherical in shape, with a radius of curvature of 99.94mm for the convex side. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a plano surface on the other side.

The lens is made from UVFS material, which is a type of optical glass specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum. This makes it ideal for applications such as UV laser systems, spectroscopy, and other UV-based technologies.
