This Plano-Convex Lens, catalog number PLCX-25.4-386.3-C, is sourced from CVI Laser Optics. It is a Spherical Lens with a Sub Type of Plano-Convex, designed for use in laser applications. The lens features a circular base shape with a diameter of 25.4 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.
The lens has a thickness of 3.8 mm at the edge, increasing slightly to 4 mm at the center. This slight curvature, combined with an Effective Focal Length (EFL) of 750 mm, makes it ideal for focusing or collimating light in various applications. The lens's inner radius is 0 mm, and the outer radius is also 0 mm, indicating a uniform curvature throughout.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality glass commonly used in laser applications due to its excellent optical properties. The wavelength for this lens is 546.1 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses in specific applications, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain scenarios due to its lower cost and simpler manufacturing process.
The lens's current status is "Valid - in stock," according to the vendor's website, ensuring quick and easy availability for your optical needs. For more detailed specifications, you can refer to the vendor's PDF document linked in the item data.
