Plano Convex lens

Plano Convex (PCX) Lenses focus parallel rays into a point, which is the focal point of the lens. Its characteristic is that the focal length is positive, one side is flat, and the other side is convex. When using, the convex surface is usually facing the incident light, because the light incident on both sides of the plano-convex lens has a slight difference in refractive index, so the focal lengths of the two sides are also different. In order to reduce spherical aberration, the beam should be incident from the curved surface as much as possible. Plano-convex lenses are often used for aiming and focusing monochromatic light sources, converging parallel light, or converting divergent point light sources into parallel light.
Bohr optics provides uncoated and AR-coated plano-convex lenses to meet your different applications in various wavelengths. Anti-reflection coating options include UV, VIS, NIR, and SWIR, which are double-sided coatings, which can greatly reduce light reflection on the surface of components and increase the transmittance of plano-convex lenses. Bohr optics provides plano-convex lenses of various materials. Among them, K9 optical glass substrates are suitable for visible light and near-infrared applications, germanium, silicon, zinc selenide, calcium fluoride and other substrates are suitable for infrared applications. Suitable for UV light band applications.
