The PLCX-25.4-64.4-C is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens with a diameter of 25.4 mm, sourced from CVI Laser Optics. This lens is designed for use in laser applications and is made from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 125mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens's geometry is defined by its edge thickness of 2.7 mm and center thickness of 4 mm. The curvature of the lens is specified by a radius (R1) of 64.4 mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a plano-convex shape. This shape is often used in optical systems because it minimizes spherical aberration, a common issue in optical systems.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a specific coating is not required or desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to damage from environmental factors, such as dust and moisture, and may have a lower transmission rate compared to coated lenses.
The lens is currently in stock and available for purchase. More detailed information about the lens, including its optical properties and performance characteristics, can be found in the vendor's catalog, which is available at https://www.idexot.com/media/wysiwyg/cms-pages/pdf/2-Spherical_Lenses.pdf.
