The PLCX-FS23 is a Plano-Convex lens, sourced from WTS Photonics, with a diameter of 38 mm and a focal length of 100 mm. This lens is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering a high level of performance and versatility.
The lens is made from fused silica, a material with a high damage threshold and excellent transmission properties across a wide range of wavelengths. This makes it suitable for use in high-power laser applications, as well as in systems where broadband transmission is required.
The Plano-Convex design of the lens provides a large, flat surface for easy integration into optical systems. The curvature of the lens focuses light to a point, making it ideal for use as a focusing element in imaging systems or as a beam shaper in laser applications.
The lens has a center thickness of 7.1 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm, providing a robust and durable construction. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0 mm, indicating a sharp transition between the flat and curved surfaces.
The lens is uncoated, meaning that it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to enhance its performance. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a high level of transmittance is required, as coatings can sometimes introduce unwanted reflections or absorption.
The lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website.
