L-BCX097 18 mm Dia. Double-Convex Lens; EFL=350mm Uncoated
The L-BCX097 is a double-convex lens with a diameter of 18 mm, sourced from the reputable optical 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 1.7 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 350 mm, making it a high-powered optical component. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a symmetrical lens design.
The L-BCX097 is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is ideal for applications that require high image quality and color fidelity. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within 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 cost, simplicity, or specific optical characteristics are priorities.
