The L-PCX124 is a 13 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, part of Ross Optical's extensive catalog of optical elements. This lens is designed with a spherical geometry, featuring a convex shape on one side and a flat surface on the other. The lens has a base shape of a circle, which is a common design for many optical applications due to its symmetry and versatility.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a sleek profile. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 43mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require moderate magnification or beam bending.
The L-PCX124 is made from N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is widely used in various optical systems, including cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance light transmission or protect the surface from environmental factors. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain applications where minimal reflection is required.
This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a common value in visible light spectrum applications. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0, indicating a uniform curvature throughout the lens surface.
