L-PCX248 38.1 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=150mm Uncoated

The L-PCX248 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Ross Optical. This lens has a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 38.1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 5.37 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a sleek profile.

The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 150mm, a feature that significantly influences the lens's focusing power. The lens's inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a plano-convex geometry. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 77.52 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 146.31 mm, contributing to the lens's overall optical performance.

The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott material, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This material is ideal for applications that require high image quality and precise color correction. The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a standard yellow-green light wavelength often used in optical testing and measurement.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance a lens's performance by reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, an uncoated lens can be a cost-effective choice for applications where such enhancements are not necessary.
