PLCV306 38 mm Dia. x -150 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens

The PLCV306 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 38 mm and a focal length of -150 mm, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens is designed for use in optical systems that require a concave surface to focus or disperse light. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for its high refractive index and low dispersion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 4.36 mm and a thickness center of 2 mm, providing structural integrity and minimizing optical aberrations. The base shape is circular, allowing for versatile application in various optical systems. The lens's shape is spherical, with an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm, ensuring uniform curvature and consistent light bending.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. This may be suitable for applications where anti-reflection or other coatings are not required. However, users should be aware that uncoated lenses can suffer from reduced transmission and increased reflection, especially at larger angles of incidence.

The lens's design wavelength is 546.1 nm, a common choice for general-purpose applications. However, it's essential to consider that the lens's performance may vary depending on the specific wavelength used in the application.
