The BICX301 is a high-precision double-convex lens, 30 mm in diameter and designed for a focal length of 50 mm. Manufactured by WTS Photonics, this lens is sourced from their extensive catalog of optical elements, providing users with a reliable and efficient solution for their optical needs.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transparency and low dispersion. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high image quality and precision. The lens is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for general-purpose use. However, for applications that require higher light transmission or protection against environmental factors, coatings can be applied.
The geometry of the lens is characterized by its double-convex shape, with a center thickness of 6.54 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm. The radii of curvature are 50.7 mm for both surfaces, resulting in a back focal length of 47.77 mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible spectrum. Its spherical shape ensures a wide field of view and low distortion, making it ideal for imaging systems, beam shaping, and other optical applications.
