L-PCX405 25 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=150mm Uncoated
The L-PCX405 is a 25 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, part of the extensive catalog offered by Ross Optical. This lens is designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat surface on one side. The Plano-Convex design allows for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and light collimation.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 150mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is used in air. This EFL makes it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length. The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.5mm at the edge and 2.5mm at the center, providing structural integrity and stability in optical systems.
The L-PCX405 is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This material ensures high transmission in the visible spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require high light transmission.
Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, and protecting the lens surface, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where cost, simplicity, or specific optical characteristics are priorities.
