L-PCX520 15 mm Dia. Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=60mm Uncoated

The L-PCX520 is a 15 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component 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 shaping element.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 60mm, 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 influences the convergence or divergence of light rays passing through the lens.

The L-PCX520 is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This ensures high-quality imaging and minimal chromatic aberration.

The lens has a center thickness of 3.1mm and an edge thickness of 2.2mm, providing robustness and durability. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, indicating a sharp transition from the flat to the curved surface.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it can be beneficial in applications where coatings may interfere with the desired optical properties.
