The BICX-FS24 is a high-precision double-convex lens, 38 mm in diameter and designed for a focal length of 500 mm. This lens is sourced from WTS Photonics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry. The lens features a base shape of a circle and is constructed with a spherical geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens has an edge thickness of 3 mm and a center thickness of 3.79 mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a high level of optical performance. The effective focal length (EFL) is 500 mm, and the first and second radii of curvature (R1 and R2) are 459.5 mm and -459.5 mm, respectively. The back focal length (BFL) is 498.72 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a symmetrical design.
The lens is made of fused silica, specifically identified as mal-1965 in the material database. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and clarity. The lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements.
The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 546.1 nm, a standard yellow-green line in the visible spectrum, often used in interferometry and other metrological applications. This lens is currently in stock, ready to be integrated into your optical system.
