The 14PCX500-05-3 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Standa. This lens is characterized by its circular base shape and uncoated surface. The lens has a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness that varies from 2 mm at the edge to 2.1 mm at the center. It boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 500 mm, making it suitable for applications that require long focal lengths.
The lens is made from CAF2 (Calcium Fluoride) material, specifically the mal-1963 variant, and is designed to work with a wavelength of 2940 nm. The CAF2 material is known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the spectrum, making this lens a versatile choice for various optical applications.
Please note that the lens does not have any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. Coatings are often applied to lenses to reduce reflection, increase transmission, or provide other benefits. However, the absence of a coating may be desirable in certain applications where the unaltered optical properties of the CAF2 material are required.
