LC1611 N-BK7 Plano-Concave Lens; Dia:2 in; f=-150.0 mm Uncoated

The LC1611 N-BK7 Plano-Concave Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components. This lens, with a diameter of 2 inches, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering a focal length of -150.0 mm, making it ideal for applications that require negative focal lengths.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, is widely used in the optical industry due to its low dispersion and high Abbe number, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly where high image quality is required.

The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a plano-concave shape. The plano side of the lens is flat, while the concave side is curved inward. This shape is often used in optical systems to diverge or spread out light. The lens has an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm, indicating that it is a simple, single-element lens.

The lens has a thickness of 8.3 mm at the edge and 4 mm at the center. This thickness, combined with the lens's material and curvature, contributes to its overall optical performance. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide excellent performance in many applications.

The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, making the lens suitable for use in systems that work with visible light.
