L-PCX116 12.7 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=44.5mm Uncoated

The L-PCX116 is a 12.7 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is a spherical element with a base shape of a circle, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications.

The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 44.5mm, making it suitable for systems that require a longer focal length. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light gathering and focusing. The lens has a thickness of 1.5mm at the edge and 2.4mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a sleek profile.

The L-PCX116 is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for its high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes the lens ideal for applications that require high image quality and color correction, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.

The lens is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for applications where coating is not critical. However, for applications that require improved transmission, scratch resistance, or specific wavelength performance, coating options are available from Ross Optical.

Please note that the lens is designed for a wavelength of 587.6nm. This specificity is crucial for applications that require precise wavelength control, such as laser systems or monochromators.
