This is the PLCX-25.4-77.3-C, a Plano-Convex lens with a 25.4 mm diameter, sourced from CVI Laser Optics. The lens is made of N-BK7, a popular material in the Schott glass family, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. This particular lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance or alter its optical properties.
The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 150mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require moderate to high magnification. The radius of curvature (R1) is 77.3mm, which, combined with the lens's thickness, contributes to its overall optical performance. The edge thickness is 2.9mm, while the center thickness is 4mm, providing a good balance between durability and optical quality.
The lens is designed for use with a wavelength of 546.1nm, a common wavelength in many optical systems. It is important to note that the lens is spherical in shape, which means it may introduce some spherical aberration, a common optical phenomenon. However, this can often be corrected with proper system design or additional optical elements.
