AC080-016-A-ML 8 mm Dia. N-BAF10/N-SF6HT Mounted Achromatic Doublet; EFL=16mm 400-700nm
The AC080-016-A-ML is a mounted achromatic doublet lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in the 400-700nm spectral range. This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple optical elements to achieve superior performance. The lens has a diameter of 8mm and a total thickness of 3.1mm, making it compact and suitable for various applications.
The lens is made from two types of Schott glass, N-BAF10 and N-SF6HT, each with specific refractive indices and dispersions to minimize chromatic aberration. The lens is coated with Thorlabs' AC400-700-A coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its transmission in the specified spectral range.
The lens geometry is complex, with three radii of curvature (r1, r2, and r3) and three thicknesses (edge, center 1, and center 2). This design allows for precise control of the lens's optical properties, ensuring high-quality imaging.
The lens is mounted, providing convenience and protection during handling and use. The mounting details are not specified in the provided data, but it can be assumed that Thorlabs, being a reputable vendor, uses high-quality, precision mounts for their optical components.
