The PLCV305 is a plano-concave lens, part of the spherical lens family, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens boasts a diameter of 38 mm and a center thickness of 2 mm, with an edge thickness of 5.6 mm. The plano-concave design features a base shape of a circle, with an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of -100 mm, a back focal length (BFL) of -101.33 mm, and a radius of curvature (R1) of -51.88 mm. These specifications make it suitable for applications requiring a negative lens with a high degree of curvature.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its high refractive index and low dispersion. It is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. Notably, this lens does not come with any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, its uncoated state can be advantageous in situations where cost or simplicity are primary concerns.
