L-PCX065 9 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=18mm Uncoated
The L-PCX065 is a Plano-Convex lens with a 9 mm diameter, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for applications requiring a spherical lens with a Curvature Radius (R1) of 9.3024 mm and a Back Focal Length (BFL) of 16.45 mm.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its Edge Thickness of 1.3 mm and Center Thickness of 2.41 mm, making it suitable for various optical applications. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of this lens is 18 mm, which is a crucial factor in determining the lens's overall performance in a system.
The L-PCX065 is made from the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to reduce reflection, increase transmission, or provide other desirable optical properties. However, the absence of a coating in this lens could be advantageous depending on the specific application, as it may reduce cost or simplify the optical system.
