The BICV501 is a high-precision double-concave lens, sourced from WTS Photonics, with a diameter of 50 mm and a focal length of -100 mm. This lens is designed for use in applications that require a strong negative lens with high-quality imaging capabilities.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a double-concave geometry, with radii of curvature of -102.06 mm and 102.06 mm for the first and second surfaces, respectively.
The lens has an edge thickness of 9.2 mm and a center thickness of 3 mm, providing robustness and stability. The effective focal length (EFL) is -100 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 96.9 mm. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. This may result in higher reflective losses, but it also means that the lens is more cost-effective and suitable for applications where such losses are acceptable or can be mitigated.
The lens is in stock and available for immediate purchase. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website or contact 3DOptix directly.
