UV fused silica Plano-Convex lens
Description
Lenses are classified by the curvature of the two optical surfaces. A lens is biconvex (or double convex, or just convex) if both surfaces are convex. If both surfaces have the same radius of curvature, the lens is equiconvex. A lens with two concave surfaces is biconcave (or just concave). If one of the surfaces is flat, the lens is plano-convex or plano-concave depending on the curvature of the other surface. A lens with one convex and one concave side is convex-concave or meniscus. It is this type of lens that is most commonly used in corrective lenses.
If the lens is biconvex or plano-convex, a collimated beam of light passing through the lens will be converged (or focused) to a spot behind the lens. In this case, the lens is called a positive orconverging lens. The distance from the lens to the spot is the focal length of the lens, which is commonly abbreviated f in diagrams and equations.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Plano-Convex lens is a lens with one flat surface and one convex surface.
The focal length of a Plano-Convex lens is the distance from the lens to the spot where a collimated beam of light passing through the lens is converged or focused.
The Plano-Convex lens is used in laser instruments, optical measurement instruments, telescopes, safety equipment, and medical equipment.
The material used for Singlet Lenses is H-K9L or Fused Silica.
The tolerance for the focal length of Achromatic Doublet Lenses is ± 2%.
