The BICX-FS21 is a high-precision double-convex lens, measuring 38 mm in diameter and featuring a focal length of 150 mm. This lens is sourced from WTS Photonics, a reputable vendor known for their quality optical elements. The lens is uncoated, offering a bare, unaltered glass surface that can be ideal for certain applications where coating might introduce unwanted reflections or interfere with the optical path.
The lens geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its spherical shape, with radii of curvature R1 and R2 measured at 137.09 mm and -137.09 mm respectively. This double-convex design, also known as a biconvex lens, provides a symmetric curvature that is useful in a wide range of applications. The lens has an edge thickness of 3 mm and a center thickness of 5.65 mm, contributing to its robust construction.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with the material ID mal-1965. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide spectrum, making it suitable for use in various wavelengths. In this case, the lens is designed for use with a wavelength of 546.1 nm.
