Plano-convex L lenses/Mirrors are positive focal length elements that have one spherical surface and one flat surface. These lenses are designed for infinite conjugate (parallel light) use or simple imaging in non-critical applications. The use of a plano-convex L lens/mirror is ideal for all-purpose focusing elements.
Description Of Plano Convex L Lens
Ecoptik Manufactures Plano Convex Lens.
The use of plano-convex cylindrical lenses: The plano-convex rectangular cylindrical lens can provide positive or negative focal length, which is very suitable for laser line generation or deformed beam shaping. It can be single-axis magnified in various optical applications to make the laser output circular. These plano-convex cylindrical lenses can be combined with other lenses to form a composite imaging system.
Plano Convex Lens Uses
The main application fields of plano-convex lens are far-infrared collimator, stage lighting, automotive lighting, outdoor road lighting, airport lighting and indoor special lighting, etc.
Plano Convex Lens VS Biconvex
First of all, from the imaging of the plano-convex lens, the light incident on the two sides of the plano-convex lens has a slightly different refractive index. So, in fact, the focal lengths on both sides are also different. But when using, it cannot be reversed. There is also a type of "plano lens", which is different from plano-convex and biconvex lenses. The incident light is reflected and perpendicular to the parallel incident characteristics to continue straight forward, and no refracted light is produced; it is the middle.
