G314322000 25.4 mm Dia. N-BK7 Plano-Concave Lens; EFL=-100mm Uncoated

The G314322000 is a Plano-Concave Spherical Lens, sourced from Qioptiq Photonics, featuring a 25.4 mm diameter and a center thickness of 1.5 mm. This lens is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 588 nm. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is -100 mm, indicating that it is a diverging lens, causing incoming light rays to spread out after passing through it.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a popular optical glass type known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications where high image quality and low chromatic aberration are required.

Notably, the lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain situations. For instance, it may be more cost-effective or suitable for applications where the coating could introduce unwanted complexity or interfere with the optical system's operation.
