PLCX503 50.8 mm Dia. x 150 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The PLCX503 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens boasts a base shape of a circle and is designed for use with a wavelength of 546.1 nm. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to alter its optical properties.
The PLCX503 has a diameter of 50.8 mm and a thickness at the edge of 3 mm. The center thickness is 7.26 mm, providing a solid structure for various applications. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 150 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is imaging an object at infinity.
The radius of curvature (R1) of the convex surface is 77.8 mm. The back focal length (BFL), which is the distance from the rear surface of the lens to its focal point, is 145.2 mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating that it is a simple plano-convex lens.
This lens is made of n-BK7 Schott glass, a common material in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. The Abbe number, a measure of dispersion, is not provided in the item data, but n-BK7 generally has a high Abbe number, making it a good choice for achromatic applications.
