The L-PCX126 is a 12.7 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is a part of their extensive catalog of simple lenses, specifically designed for applications requiring a convex lens with a flat surface on one side.
The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 25.4mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other side is curved, allows for efficient light convergence while maintaining a compact form factor.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes the lens ideal for applications that require high optical performance, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The L-PCX126 has a center thickness of 4.63mm and an edge thickness of 3mm, providing robustness and durability. The lens's clear aperture is 12.7mm, allowing for a wide range of applications.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it can be beneficial in applications where the user wants to control the amount of light entering the system.
