The AC254-200-C is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This lens is specifically engineered for use in the 1050-1700nm wavelength range, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications in the infrared spectrum.
The lens features a 25.4mm diameter and a focal length of 200.1mm, providing a high level of optical performance and versatility. The lens is constructed from two different types of Schott glass, N-LAK22 and N-SF6, which are carefully selected and arranged to minimize chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems.
The lens is unmounted, providing users with the flexibility to integrate it into their own optical systems. It has a central thickness of 4mm and edge thickness of 6.2mm, ensuring durability and resistance to mechanical stress. The lens also features a complex geometry, with radii of curvature of 70mm, -95.9mm, and 274.3mm, which are optimized to provide the best possible optical performance.
The lens is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary AC1050-1700-C coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to enhance the lens's transmission in the 1050-1700nm range, further improving its performance in infrared applications.
