The PLCV502 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 50 mm and a focal length of -100 mm, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens is designed for use in optical systems where a negative focal length is required. The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its high transmission in the visible spectrum and excellent optical quality.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 9.42 mm at the edge and 3 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while minimizing optical aberrations. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of -51.88 mm, contributing to its negative focal length.
The PLCV502 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. This may be suitable for applications where the natural properties of the glass are sufficient, or where cost is a significant factor. However, for applications where high transmission, low reflectivity, or specific wavelength performance is required, a coated version of this lens or an additional coating may be necessary.
