This Plano-Convex Lens, model PLCX-12.7/38.6UV, is a spherical lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a focal length of 75 mm. It is sourced from the reputable vendor Laser Components and is available for immediate use, as indicated by its "in stock" status on the vendor's website.
The lens is made of fused silica, specifically identified as fused sil mal-1965 in the material database. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance or protect it from environmental factors.
The lens geometry is defined by its edge thickness of 1.5 mm and center thickness of 2 mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a plano-convex shape. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 75 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 248 nm. This makes it suitable for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications. However, users should note that the lens's performance may vary depending on the specific conditions of its use, including the angle of incidence, the numerical aperture, and the spectral bandwidth.
