PLCV001 6 mm Dia. x -12 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens
The PLCV001 is a plano-concave lens with a 6 mm diameter, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens is designed for use in optical systems where a negative focal length is required. The lens has a base shape of a circle, with a thickness of 2.77 mm at the edge and 2 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is -12 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a concentrated light beam.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The radius of curvature for this lens is -6.22 mm on the concave side. The back focal length (BFL) is -13.31 mm, providing a longer working distance for the lens.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This may result in some reflection loss at the air-glass interfaces, but it also means the lens is less susceptible to damage from environmental conditions or handling.
