L-MPX017 4.5 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=9.7mm Uncoated

The L-MPX017 is a 4.5 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in micro-optics applications, as indicated by its inclusion in Ross Optical's micro-optics catalog.

The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 9.7mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The Plano-Convex geometry, characterized by a flat (Plano) surface on one side and a curved (Convex) surface on the other, is a common design in optical lenses due to its ability to focus light efficiently.

The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 0.8mm at the edge and 1.3mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a sharp transition between the flat and curved surfaces. The radius of curvature (R1) of the curved surface is 5.01296mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 8.94mm.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6nm. Notably, the lens is uncoated, which may affect its performance in certain applications, particularly those requiring high transmission or resistance to environmental factors.
