PLCX208 25.4 mm Dia. x 125 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The PLCX208 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from WTS Photonics. With a diameter of 25.4 mm and a center thickness of 3.27 mm, this lens is designed for use in various optical applications. The lens's base shape is circular, and it has an edge thickness of 2 mm.
The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 125 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) of the convex surface is 64.86 mm. The back focal length (BFL), which is the distance from the rear surface of the lens to the focal point, is 122.89 mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating that it is a simple plano-convex lens.
The lens is made of n-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. This may make it more susceptible to reflective losses and could limit its use in certain applications.
The lens is designed for use at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, suggesting that this lens is intended for use in systems that operate within this range.
