L-BCX181 38.1 mm Dia. Double-Convex Lens; EFL=150mm Uncoated

The L-BCX181 is a high-quality double-convex lens, boasting a diameter of 38.1 mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of 150mm. This lens is sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Ross Optical, and is available for purchase directly from their website.

The lens is designed with a spherical shape, featuring two convex surfaces. The first surface has a radius of curvature (R1) of 154.12, while the second surface has an R2 of -154.12. This specific design allows for a wide range of applications, particularly in fields where a high level of light convergence is required.

The lens is fabricated from the high-grade material, n-bk7 schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion, making it ideal for use in a variety of optical systems.

The lens has a thickness of 3mm at the edge and 5.36mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a circular base shape. Despite its robust construction, the lens is uncoated, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, this also means that the lens is more affordable compared to coated alternatives.

The L-BCX181 operates at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in applications where light transmission and clarity are critical, such as in imaging systems, beam shaping, and light focusing.
