PLCV002 6 mm Dia. x -24 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens
The PLCV002 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 center thickness of 2 mm and an edge thickness of 2.37 mm, providing a robust and stable platform for optical applications.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a radius of curvature (R1) of -12.44 mm, resulting in a back focal length (BFL) of -25.31 mm. This, coupled with the effective focal length (EFL) of -24 mm, makes the PLCV002 suitable for applications requiring a strong converging or diverging lens.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This ensures minimal chromatic aberration and maintains high image quality across a wide range of wavelengths.
Notably, the PLCV002 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means the lens can be used in a wider range of applications without the risk of coating damage or degradation.
