PLCX306 38 mm Dia. x 75 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens

The PLCX306 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 an effective focal length (EFL) of 75 mm. The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 3 mm and a thickness center of 8 mm, making it a robust and durable optical component.

The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This particular lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical performance or protect it from environmental factors. However, uncoated lenses can still provide high-quality imaging, especially in applications where anti-reflection or other specialized coatings are not required.

The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a sharp transition from the flat surface to the curved surface. The radius of curvature (R1) is 38.87 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 69.7 mm. These specifications contribute to the lens's overall optical performance and should be carefully considered when selecting a lens for a specific application.

The PLCX306 is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the WTS Photonics website. With its robust construction, high-quality materials, and excellent optical properties, this lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of optical applications.
