The BICX508 is a high-precision, double-convex lens offered by WTS Photonics. This lens boasts a diameter of 50 mm and a focal length of 600 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is uncoated, providing a cost-effective solution for users who do not require additional anti-reflective or other coatings.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its spherical shape. The radius of curvature for the first surface (R1) is 621.28 mm, while the radius of curvature for the second surface (R2) is -621.28 mm. This double-convex design allows for efficient light gathering and focusing. The lens has an edge thickness of 3 mm and a center thickness of 4 mm, contributing to its robustness and durability.
The BICX508 is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical lenses due to its excellent optical properties and chemical resistance. The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 600 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 598.7 mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
