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.
This lens is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the WTS Photonics website. The link to the product page is provided in the item data for your convenience.
