L-PCX061 8 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=50mm Uncoated
The L-PCX061 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 bring it to a focus. The Plano-Convex lens is particularly useful in applications where a wide field of view is required, or where a compact optical system is needed.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point where the light rays converge. This makes it suitable for use in various applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and collimation.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 2.4mm at the edge and 2.7mm at the center, providing structural integrity and resistance to deformation.
The lens's surface curvature is defined by a radius of 25.84mm on the curved side, and the back focal length (BFL) is 48.82mm. The lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated. However, it can be customized with various coatings to enhance its performance or tailor it to specific applications.
