The AC080-030-C is an unmounted achromatic doublet lens, boasting a diameter of 8 mm and effective focal length (EFL) of 30 mm, specifically designed for use within the wavelength range of 1050-1700 nm. This lens is a product of Thorlabs, a reputable optical components manufacturer known for its high-quality, precision-engineered offerings.
The lens is composed of two distinct materials, N-PK52A and N-SF6, both from Schott, a leading manufacturer of optical glass. The use of these materials in the doublet configuration helps to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring high-quality imaging across the specified wavelength range.
The lens geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and features an edge thickness of 3.7 mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, while the first and second radii of curvature are 12.3 mm and -16 mm, respectively. The center thicknesses of the first and second components are both 2.3 mm.
The lens is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary AC1050-1700-C coating on both the front and back surfaces, further enhancing its performance within the specified wavelength range. This coating helps to reduce reflection and increase transmission, making the lens suitable for a wide range of applications.
