L-MPX020 5.1 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=68mm Uncoated

The L-MPX020 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Ross Optical. This lens has a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 5.1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a thickness of 1.9 mm at the edge and 2 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form factor.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 68 mm, which is a critical parameter in lens selection. The EFL determines the lens's magnification power and is a key factor in determining the overall optical system's performance. The lens's inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a plano-convex design.

The L-MPX020 lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is widely used in various optical applications due to its low dispersion and high Abbe number. The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to reduce reflection, increase transmission, or protect the lens surface. However, the absence of a coating in this lens could be advantageous in certain applications where a coating might introduce unwanted artifacts or complexity.

The lens's geometry and material properties make it suitable for various applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. It is currently in stock and available for immediate use. For more information, users can refer to the vendor's website provided in the weblinks section.
