The L-PCX072 is a 10 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens with an effective focal length (EFL) of 22mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, designed for general-purpose use, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, ensuring a wide field of view and minimal distortion.
The lens's geometry is meticulously crafted, with a thickness of 2mm at the edge and 3.1mm at the center, providing a balanced profile that ensures optimal light transmission and minimal aberration. The EFL of 22mm, combined with a back focal length (BFL) of 20.04mm, makes this lens suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The L-PCX072 is made from the high-quality material N-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transmission in the visible spectrum and low autofluorescence. This material ensures the lens delivers sharp, clear images with high contrast and resolution.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements. However, the uncoated version already provides a decent transmission rate in the visible spectrum.
