L-MPX018 5 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=4.8mm Uncoated

The L-MPX018 is a 5 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Ross Optical. This lens is characterized by its spherical geometry, with a base shape of a circle, and is uncoated. The lens's design features a plano surface on one side and a convex surface on the other, with a center thickness of 2.5 mm and an edge thickness of 0 mm.

The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 4.8 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a compact, high-performance lens. The radius of curvature (R1) of the convex surface is 2.48064 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 3.15 mm. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.

This lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. The lens's shape is spherical, a common choice for its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance. The uncoated surface of the lens allows for high light transmission but may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture.
