PLCV503 50 mm Dia. x -150 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Concave Lens
The PLCV503 is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 50 mm and a focal length of -150 mm, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens is part of their extensive catalog of optical elements, designed for a wide range of applications.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The base shape is circular, and the lens is uncoated, offering a clear, unaltered view of the light path.
The geometry of the lens is precisely engineered. The thickness at the edge is 7.13 mm, while the center thickness is 3 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a flat surface on one side and a concave surface on the other. The back focal length (BFL) is -151.96 mm, slightly longer than the specified focal length, which is common in plano-concave lenses.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for applications that use visible light. The shape is spherical, ensuring a high-quality, distortion-free image.
