The L-PCX227 is a 38 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical 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 50mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a moderate level of magnification is required. The EFL is a critical parameter in lens selection, as it directly influences the magnification and field of view of the optical system.
The L-PCX227 is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high transmission in the visible spectrum. The lens has a center thickness of 10.3mm and an edge thickness of 2mm, providing robustness and durability.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses at the air-glass interfaces, it can also be beneficial in certain applications where the introduction of a coating may alter the optical properties of the lens.
