The AC300-050-C is a high-quality, unmounted achromatic doublet lens sourced from Thorlabs, a leading global manufacturer of photonics components. This lens, with a diameter of 30 mm, is designed for use in the infrared spectrum, specifically for wavelengths between 1050 and 1700 nanometers.
The lens features a geometry optimized for performance, with a central thickness of 10 mm and edge thickness of 7.7 mm. The curvature radii are R1 = 41.7 mm, R2 = -22.7 mm, and R3 = -75.7 mm, providing excellent optical properties. The lens is made from two types of Schott glass, N-BAF10 and N-SF6, which are renowned for their optical quality and durability.
The AC300-050-C is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary AC1050-1700-C coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is specifically designed to enhance performance in the 1050-1700 nm range, ensuring optimal transmission and minimal reflection.
This lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple elements to achieve superior optical performance. The multiplet design allows for the correction of chromatic aberrations, providing sharp, clear images across the entire spectral range.
