PLCX-25.0-87.6-C 25 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=170mm Uncoated

This is the PLCX-25.0-87.6-C, a 25 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens made of N-BK7 laser grade material, sourced from CVI Laser Optics. The lens is uncoated and features a focal length of 170mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens's geometry is defined by a 25 mm diameter, with a thickness of 3.2 mm at the edge and 4.1 mm at the center. The curvature of the lens is specified by a radius of 87.6 mm on the convex side. The lens does not have any inner or outer radius, indicating a simple plano-convex design.

The N-BK7 material, also known as Borosilicate Crown Glass, is a popular choice for laser applications due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This lens, in particular, is classified as "laser grade," implying that it meets the stringent quality standards required for laser applications.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While this may limit its performance in certain applications, it also means that the lens is more cost-effective and versatile, as it can be used in a wide range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.

The lens's weblink status is "Valid - in stock," indicating that it is readily available for purchase and use. The associated weblink provides further technical specifications and purchasing information.
