L-PCX081 12 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=24mm Uncoated

The L-PCX081 is a 12 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat plane on one side. The Plano-Convex design allows for a wide range of applications, including use as a focusing element or as a beam shaper in laser systems.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 24mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point at which light rays converge or diverge. This makes it suitable for use in systems where a longer focal length is required. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and high transmission in the visible spectrum.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.3mm at the edge and 2.8mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0mm, indicating a sharp transition between the flat and curved surfaces. The lens's base shape is circular, providing symmetry and consistency in optical systems.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can be applied to enhance the lens's performance in specific applications, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, this lens is designed to provide optimal performance in its uncoated state.

The lens data is provided for a wavelength of 587.6nm, which is in the green portion of the visible spectrum. This is a common reference wavelength for optical calculations.
