PLCX-25.4-1998.7-UV 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=4000mm Uncoated

The PLCX-25.4-1998.7-UV is a Plano-Convex spherical lens, a type of optical component that focuses or disperses light beams, sourced from CVI Laser Optics. This lens, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, is designed for use with a wavelength of 266 nm, typical in UVFS lasers.

The lens's geometry is defined by its edge thickness of 3.96 mm and center thickness of 4 mm. The curvature of the lens is specified by a radius of 1998.72 mm, which determines the focal length (EFL) of 4000 mm. This long focal length is indicative of a highly converging lens, suitable for applications requiring a tight focus of the light beam.

The lens is made from UVFS material, identified as "UVFS mal- 1965" in the material ID. This material is specifically designed for use in ultraviolet light applications, ensuring high transmittance and resistance to degradation.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their performance by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing environmental protection. However, in this case, the lens is intended for use without a coating, suggesting that its performance is sufficient for the intended application without the need for additional enhancement.

The lens's status is "in stock" as per the vendor's website, ensuring availability for immediate use or order. The vendor's website also provides a link to a comprehensive catalog of their products, including this lens, for further reference.
