PLCX102 10 mm Dia. x 22 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The PLCX102 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 10 mm, is designed for use in optical systems that require a convex lens with a flat surface on one side. The lens has a base shape of a circle, a common feature in many optical applications.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 1.9 mm and a thickness center of 3.1 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 22 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is placed in an optical system. The radius of curvature (R1) is 11.4 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 20 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating that the lens has a uniform curvature.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The wavelength for this lens is 546.1 nm. The lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated. However, coatings can be added to enhance the lens's performance, such as improving its transmission or reducing reflection.
