PLCX-25.4-206.0-UV 25.4 mm Dia. UVFS Laser Grade Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=412.3mm Uncoated

The PLCX-25.4-206.0-UV is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, a high-quality optical component designed for use in laser applications. This lens, sourced from CVI Laser Optics, boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 412.3 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 high-powered laser systems where material durability and transmission efficiency are critical.

The lens geometry includes a thickness of 3.6 mm at the edge and 4 mm at the center, with no inner or outer radii, indicating a simple plano-convex design. This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making it suitable for use as a focusing or collimating element in laser systems.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. While this may result in higher Fresnel reflections compared to coated lenses, it can also provide greater design flexibility and cost savings in certain applications.
