SLSQ-50-5000P 50.0 mm Dia. x 5000.0 mm FL; Plano-Convex Lens Uncoated

The SLSQ-50-5000P is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 50.0 mm and a focal length of 5000.0 mm. This lens is sourced from OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is made of fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock.

The lens geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its thickness at the edge and center. The edge thickness is 3.0 mm, while the center thickness is slightly greater at 3.1 mm. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 5000.0 mm, and its radius of curvature (R1) is 2300.0 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 4997.9 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0.0 mm.

This lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where cost considerations are a factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can suffer from increased reflection, which may impact the overall system performance.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible spectrum. Its spherical shape ensures excellent image quality and low distortion, making it a versatile choice for many optical systems.
