This is a 14BCX100-05-1 Double-Convex Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor, Standa. The lens is a Spherical Lens (Convex-Convex) type, designed with a Circular base shape, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens boasts a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness edge of 1.6 mm, ensuring durability and robustness. The thickness center measures 2 mm, providing a balanced structure for optimal light transmission. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 100 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring moderate magnification and focus.
The lens's geometry is defined by its inner and outer radii, both of which are 0 in this case. However, the first radius (R1) is 103.4 mm, and the second radius (R2) is -103.4 mm, indicating the double-convex nature of the lens. This curvature allows for excellent light gathering and focusing capabilities.
The lens is made from n-bk7 Schott material, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, especially where high light transmission is not critical.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 546 nm, a common wavelength used in many optical systems. It is important to note that the lens's performance may vary with different wavelengths.
