PLCV101 12.7 mm Dia. x -15 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens

The PLCV101 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a focal length of -15 mm, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens is designed for use in optical systems where a negative focal length is required. The plano-concave shape, characterized by a flat surface and a curved surface with a shorter radius, allows for precise control of light paths.

The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its high transparency and excellent optical properties. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 5.27 mm at the edge and 2 mm at the center, providing a balanced structure for various applications.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While this may limit its use in certain applications where high reflectivity or specific wavelength transmission is required, it can be advantageous in situations where cost, simplicity, or specific surface properties are a priority.

The PLCV101 is designed for use at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the visible light spectrum. Its compact size and robust construction make it a versatile choice for various optical systems.
