The PLCX-FS12 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens has a base shape of a circle and is designed for use in various optical applications. The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material with specific optical properties that make it suitable for various wavelengths, in this case, 546.1 nm.
The PLCX-FS12 has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness at the edge of 2 mm. The center thickness is 3.79 mm, providing a balance between light transmission and distortion control. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 100 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point when the lens is focused at infinity.
The lens's radius of curvature (R1) is 46.03 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 97.45 mm. The BFL is the distance from the rear surface of the lens to the focal point. The lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated. This may affect its light transmission and susceptibility to environmental factors.
