L-PCX354 76.2 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=175mm Uncoated

The L-PCX354 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 76.2 mm, 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 lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 175mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The EFL is a critical parameter in lens selection as it directly influences the magnification and field of view of the optical system.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2mm at the edge and 10.4mm at the center. The inner radius is 0mm, and the outer radius is also 0mm, indicating a flat surface on one side. The lens's base shape is circular, providing symmetry and uniformity in the optical system.

The lens does not come with any coating, as indicated in the item data. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their optical properties, such as reducing reflection, increasing transmission, or protecting the lens surface. However, this lens is uncoated, which may be suitable for certain applications where such coatings are not required or desirable.
