The BICX-FS01 is a high-precision double-convex lens, sourced from the reputable vendor WTS Photonics. This lens boasts a 6 mm diameter and a 15 mm focal length (FL), making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to protect or enhance its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the material are desired, or where cost is a significant factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, and may not perform as well in high-intensity light situations.
The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a spherical geometry. The thickness at the edge is 1.5 mm, while the thickness at the center is 2.18 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 15 mm, and the radii of curvature are 13.46 mm for the first surface (R1) and -13.46 mm for the second surface (R2). The back focal length (BFL) is 14.24 mm.
The lens is made from fused silica (mal-1965), a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low autofluorescence. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and clarity, such as imaging, metrology, and beam shaping.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. It's important to ensure that the lens is suitable for your specific application's wavelength requirements.
