The L-PCX230 is a 38 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens with an effective focal length (EFL) of 125mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This uncoated lens is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where high-quality imaging and light transmission are critical.
The lens features a base shape of Circular, with a geometric profile that includes a 2.1mm thickness at the edge and a 4.9mm thickness at the center. The large diameter and substantial thickness provide excellent stability and rigidity, making it suitable for use in high-power applications.
The Plano-Convex design, characterized by a flat front surface and a curved back surface, offers a number of advantages. It provides a wide field of view, low distortion, and a long focal length, making it ideal for imaging applications. The lens is made from the high-quality material n-BK7 Schott, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion.
The L-PCX230 operates at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a common wavelength for visible light applications. It is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, and uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain situations due to their lower cost and simpler manufacturing process.
