L-PCC035 18 mm Dia. Plano-Concave Lens; EFL=-75mm Uncoated

The L-PCC035 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 18 mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. This lens is sourced from Ross Optical, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical elements. The lens features a center thickness of 1.5 mm, providing a sturdy base for integration into various optical systems.

The L-PCC035 has an effective focal length (EFL) of -75 mm, indicating its diverging nature. This negative focal length makes it ideal for use in applications where beam dispersal is required, such as in laser systems or imaging applications. The lens's concave shape, characterized by a radius of curvature (R1) of -38.76 mm, further contributes to its diverging properties.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This material ensures high transmittance across a wide range of wavelengths, making the L-PCC035 suitable for use in various applications.

Notably, the L-PCC035 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface coatings. While this may result in higher reflectance at the air-glass interface, it also means the lens can be used in a broader range of applications without concerns about coating compatibility.
