L-PCX233 38 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=200mm Uncoated

The L-PCX233 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 38 mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat surface on one side. The Plano-Convex design allows for a wide range of applications, including use as a focusing lens, beam shaping, or as a simple magnifier.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 200mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point where the light rays converge. This makes it suitable for applications that require moderate to high magnification. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 2mm at the edge and 3.8mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a low profile.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a high-quality optical material known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This makes the lens ideal for use in applications that require high image quality, such as imaging systems, beam delivery systems, and metrology.

The lens does not come with any coating, which means it is uncoated. While uncoated lenses can be used in many applications, they may exhibit higher levels of reflection, which can lead to a decrease in transmission and image quality. However, uncoated lenses are generally more cost-effective and can be a suitable choice for applications where high transmission is not critical.
