The PLCX-FS22 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens with a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. This lens, sourced from WTS Photonics, has a diameter of 38 mm and a focal length of 75 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from fused sil mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness edge of 3 mm and a thickness center of 8.7 mm, providing a base shape that is circular. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 75 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 34.51 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 69.05 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a uniform curvature.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm.
