The AC127-025-AB is a high-quality unmounted achromatic doublet lens, meticulously crafted by Thorlabs. This lens boasts a 12.7 mm diameter and is designed for use within the 400-1100nm spectral range, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of optical applications.
The lens is constructed from two distinct materials, N-LAK10 and N-SF57, both from Schott. These materials have been carefully selected to optimize the lens's performance, particularly in terms of chromatic aberration correction. The lens features a focal length of 25mm, denoted as EFL (Effective Focal Length), which is a critical parameter in determining the lens's magnification and field of view.
The lens's geometry is intricately designed, with an edge thickness of 4.6mm and a central thickness of 4mm for the first material, and a central thickness of 2mm for the second. The lens's curvature is also precisely controlled, with radii of 19.1mm, -17.8mm, and -82.3mm, contributing to its excellent optical performance.
The lens is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary Anti-Reflection (AR) coating, both on the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's transmission capabilities, reduces surface reflections, and increases overall system efficiency.
