The BICX304 is a high-precision, double-convex lens offered by WTS Photonics, boasting a diameter of 38 mm and a focal length of 50 mm. This lens is designed for use in a wide range of applications, thanks to its robust construction and versatile specifications.
The lens is manufactured from Schott's n-BK7 optical glass, a material renowned for its excellent optical properties and chemical resistance. The base shape of the lens is circular, with a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 10.5 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 50 mm, while the back focal length (BFL) is 46.4 mm.
The BICX304 features a double-convex geometry, with radii of curvature R1 and R2 measured at 49.97 mm and -49.97 mm respectively. This geometry allows for superior light gathering and focusing capabilities, making it ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where precise optical control is required.
Notably, the lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their own coatings to suit their specific application needs. However, it's important to note that the lack of coating may result in reduced transmission and increased susceptibility to environmental factors such as dust and moisture.
