The AC254-030-AB is a 25.4 mm diameter achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This unmounted lens is specifically engineered for use within the 400-1100nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide array of optical applications.
The lens features a complex geometry, with a central thickness of 12mm and edge thickness of 9.5mm. The curvature of the lens is defined by three radii: r1 at 20mm, r2 at -17.4mm, and r3 at -93.1mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a circular lens profile.
The lens is composed of two materials, S-BAH11 and S-TIH6, both from Ohara. These materials have been carefully selected to provide superior optical performance, particularly in terms of chromatic aberration correction. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, both on the front and back surfaces, ensuring high transmission and minimal loss of light.
This lens is classified as a multiplet, indicating that it is composed of multiple elements. The specific configuration of these elements contributes to the lens's overall performance, particularly in terms of its ability to bring light to a focus.
