L-PCX266 42 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=80mm Uncoated
The L-PCX266 is a 42 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 lens or a beam expander.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 80mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a longer focal length is required. The EFL is a critical parameter in lens selection, as it directly impacts the magnification and field of view of the optical system.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical lenses due to its excellent optical properties and high transmission in the visible spectrum. The lens has no coating, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other surface treatments. This may result in some light loss due to reflection at the lens surfaces, but it also means the lens is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors.
The lens has a center thickness of 7.7mm and an edge thickness of 2mm. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a sharp transition from the flat to the curved surface. The lens's base shape is circular, providing symmetry and ease of alignment in optical systems.
