PLCX205 25.4 mm Dia. x 60 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The PLCX205 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 uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors.

The lens has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a thickness at the edge of 2 mm. The thickness at the center is 4.72 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 60 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point when the lens is focused at infinity. The radius of curvature (R1) of the curved surface is 31.12 mm. The back focal length (BFL) of the lens is 56.89 mm, which is the distance from the rear principal point of the lens to the focal point.

The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott glass, a common type of optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0 mm, indicating that the lens is a simple Plano-Convex lens with one curved surface and one flat surface.

The lens data suggests that it is suitable for applications that require a long focal length and a wide diameter. The uncoated surface may make it more susceptible to environmental factors, but it can also make it more cost-effective. This lens would be a good choice for applications that do not require high precision or where cost is a significant factor.
