L-PCX367 80 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=1000mm Uncoated

The L-PCX367 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 80 mm, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens is specifically designed for use in applications where a long effective focal length (EFL) of 1000mm is required. The Plano-Convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is a common choice for applications that require a simple, single-element lens.

The lens has a base shape of a circle, with a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 4.5 mm at the center. The inner radius is 0, and the outer radius is also 0, indicating a symmetrical curvature. The radius of curvature (R1) is 516.8 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 1000.67 mm. The EFL, which is the distance from the center of the lens to the point where the light rays converge, is 1000 mm.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm. It's important to note that this lens is uncoated, meaning it doesn't have any additional layers to enhance its durability or alter its optical properties.

This lens is a great choice for applications that require a long focal length and high light gathering capability. However, due to its large diameter and long focal length, it may not be suitable for applications that require a compact or lightweight lens.
