The AC080-020-A-ML is an 8 mm diameter achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This lens is part of Thorlabs' extensive catalog of optical elements, which 3DOptix integrates into its advanced optical simulation software.
The lens is a mounted doublet, meaning it consists of two individual lenses mounted together. This design helps to correct chromatic and spherical aberrations, enhancing the optical system's performance. The lens is made from two types of glass: N-BK7 from Schott and SF2 from Schott. These materials are known for their excellent optical properties, contributing to the lens' high-quality performance.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 20mm, making it suitable for various applications that require a compact, high-performance lens. The coating on both the front and back surfaces is THORLABS AR400-700A, which is designed to reduce reflection over the 400-700nm range, further enhancing the lens' performance.
The lens geometry is carefully designed, with a diameter of 8mm, a thickness at the edge of 3mm, and varying radii and thicknesses at the center. This design ensures the lens' compactness and high performance. The lens is in stock and available for immediate use.
