L-PCX018 6.2 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=38mm Uncoated
The L-PCX018 is a Plano-Convex lens with a 6.2 mm diameter, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is a Spherical Lens, specifically designed with a Circular Base Shape, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features a 1.6 mm thickness at the edge, increasing slightly to 1.8 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of this lens is 38 mm, making it a medium focal length lens, ideal for many optical systems.
The lens is made from the high-quality material n-bk7 schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmittance and low dispersion. The lens is designed to work optimally at the wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where cost, simplicity, or specific optical characteristics are priorities.
