PLCX-25.4-154.5-C 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=300mm Uncoated

This Plano-Convex lens, model PLCX-25.4-154.5-C, is a high-quality optical component sourced from CVI Laser Optics. It is designed with a 25.4 mm diameter and a focal length of 300mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. This material is particularly suitable for use in laser applications, as it exhibits low auto-fluorescence and high transmittance in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.

The lens geometry features a plano-convex design, where one surface is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). The curvature of the convex surface has a radius of 154.5 mm. This design provides a large clear aperture and excellent optical performance, making it ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where high-quality imaging is required.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a specific coating is not required, as it reduces the cost and complexity of the component. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, and may have higher reflectivity than coated lenses.
