L-PCX285 50 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=95mm Uncoated

The L-PCX285 is a 50 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in a wide range of optical applications, thanks to its high-quality materials and precision engineering.

The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 95mm, making it suitable for use in systems that require a longer focal length. The Plano-Convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light gathering and focusing. This design is particularly useful in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where precise light control is required.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common and highly versatile optical material. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide spectrum, making it suitable for use in a variety of wavelengths.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2.9mm at the edge and 9.7mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, and the base shape is circular. The lens's large diameter and thin edge make it ideal for use in compact optical systems.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can be applied to enhance the lens's performance in specific applications, this uncoated version offers the advantage of simplicity and versatility. It can be used in a wide range of applications without the need for specialized coatings.
