The BICX106 is a high-precision double-convex lens, 12.7 mm in diameter and designed for a focal length of 50 mm. This lens is sourced from WTS Photonics, a reputable vendor in the optical industry. The lens is uncoated, offering a bare, unaltered glass surface that is suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its spherical design, featuring two convex surfaces. The first surface, or the front surface, has a radius of curvature (R1) of 51.4 mm, while the second surface, or the rear surface, has a radius of curvature (R2) of -51.4 mm. This design results in an effective focal length (EFL) of 50 mm and a back focal length (BFL) of 49.08 mm.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. The lens's thickness at the edge is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 2.79 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens's surface.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for applications that require high precision and accuracy in the visible light spectrum. The lens's shape is spherical, which is ideal for applications that require a wide field of view or where aberration correction is critical.
