PLCX308 38 mm Dia. x 150 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The PLCX308 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens characterized by one flat and one curved surface, with the curved side facing the light source. This lens, sourced from WTS Photonics, has a diameter of 38 mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of 150 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number, which ensures low chromatic aberration. The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 3 mm and a thickness center of 5.3 mm, with an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 146.5 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 77.75 mm.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means the lens can be used in a broader spectral range without the risk of coating damage.
The lens data suggests that it is in stock and available for immediate purchase, making it an ideal choice for those needing a high-quality, readily available optical component.
