PLCV106 12.7 mm Dia. x -50 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens

The PLCV106 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a focal length of -50 mm, making it ideal for applications that require light to be focused or diverged. This lens is sourced from WTS Photonics, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical elements.

The lens is made of BK7 glass, a popular material for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and high chemical durability. The plano-concave shape, characterized by two flat surfaces and one curved surface with a negative radius of curvature, is designed to diverge light.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2.79 mm at the edge and 2 mm at the center, providing a balanced structure for efficient light transmission. The back focal length (BFL) is -51.33 mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is -50 mm, which is the distance from the lens to the point where the light rays converge or diverge.

This lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, it can be used in a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.

Please note that the lens is designed for a wavelength of 546.1 nm. If your application uses a different wavelength, the performance of the lens may vary. Always consult the vendor or use optical simulation software to ensure the lens meets your specific requirements.
