The capital is Λ (see left in the image) and the miniscule is λ (see right in the image).
The capital letter Lambda Λ is the symbol used for the cosmological constant in cosmology.
Often the cosmological constant is just referred to as Lambda or Λ since that is easy to say.
The small letter lambda λ is the universal symbol for wavelength in physics.
