L-PCX059 8 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=17mm Uncoated

The L-PCX059 is a plano-convex lens with an 8 mm diameter, sourced from Ross Optical. This lens is characterized by its spherical geometry, with a base shape of a circle. The lens's edge thickness measures 1.4 mm, while the center thickness is 2.3 mm, providing a robust structure.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 17 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens's inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a uniform curvature. The radius of curvature (R1) is 8.7856 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 15.49 mm, offering precise focusing capabilities.

This lens is made from n-BK7 Schott material, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low auto-fluorescence. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide high-quality performance, especially in applications where anti-reflection coatings are not required.

The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for use in a variety of light sources. The lens's geometry and material properties make it a versatile and reliable choice for many optical systems.
