The L-PCX007 is a plano-convex lens with an 8 mm diameter, sourced from Ross Optical. This lens type features a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other, designed to bend light and focus it onto a single point. The curved surface has a radius of 5.168 mm, and the lens's overall thickness at the edge is 2 mm, while the center thickness measures 3.9 mm.
The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 10 mm, which indicates the distance between the lens and the focal point where the light rays converge. This particular lens is uncoated, meaning it doesn't have any additional layers to reduce surface reflections or protect the lens from environmental factors.
The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical lenses due to its high refractive index and low dispersion. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum. The lens's geometry is spherical, and it has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature throughout.
This lens is suitable for various applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. However, due to its uncoated nature, it may not perform optimally in high-intensity light or extreme environmental conditions. Always consider the specific requirements of your application when choosing an optical component.
