This Plano-Convex lens, model PLCX-50.8-180.3-C, is a high-quality optical component sourced from CVI Laser Optics. It is designed with a circular base shape and a spherical geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness at the edge of 4.6 mm, while the center thickness is 6.4 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 350 mm.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This material is known for its low optical dispersion and high Abbe number, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high image quality and color correction.
The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide excellent performance in many applications, especially when the light source is not highly coherent or when the system is not very sensitive to reflections.
The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, which is a common wavelength used in various optical applications. It is important to note that the performance of the lens can vary depending on the wavelength of the light source.
