The L-PCX030 is a 6.35 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in a wide range of optical applications, boasting an effective focal length (EFL) of 25.4mm, making it a versatile choice for many setups.
The lens is fabricated from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This ensures minimal chromatic aberration, making the lens suitable for use in applications where high image quality is paramount.
The L-PCX030 features a plano-convex geometry, with a center thickness of 3.39mm and an edge thickness of 3mm. This geometry allows for efficient light gathering and focusing, making it ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where precise light control is necessary.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses at the air-glass interfaces, it also means the lens is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors, making it a robust choice for applications where durability is a concern.
