BICX-FS17 25.4 mm Dia. x 500 mm FL; Uncoated; Double-Convex Lens

The BICX-FS17 is a high-precision double-convex lens, characterized by its 25.4 mm diameter and 500 mm focal length. This lens, sourced from WTS Photonics, is a spherical lens with a convex-convex base shape and a circular geometry. The lens's edge thickness measures 2 mm, while the center thickness is 2.35 mm, providing a robust structure for various applications.

The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 500 mm, and the first and second radii of curvature (R1 and R2) are 459.7 mm and -459.7 mm, respectively. The back focal length (BFL) is 499.19 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm. These specifications make the lens suitable for a wide range of optical systems.

The lens is made of fused silica (Mal-1965), a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to thermal shock. The lens is uncoated, which may be suitable for applications where anti-reflection coatings are not required or preferred.

The lens's wavelength is 546.1 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications involving visible light, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, and other optical systems.
