L-BCX094 18 mm Dia. Double-Convex Lens; EFL=150mm Uncoated

The L-BCX094 is a double-convex lens with a diameter of 18 mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is characterized by its convex-convex base shape and circular geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens has a center thickness of 2 mm and an edge thickness of 1.5 mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form factor. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 150 mm, making it a medium to long-range focal length lens. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 154.7 mm, and the second radius of curvature (R2) is -154.7 mm, indicating a strongly converging lens.

The L-BCX094 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability. The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, and protecting the lens surface, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where specific reflection properties are required or where cost is a significant factor.
