The AC508-100-A is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 50.8 mm, is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically between 400-700nm.
The lens is a multiplet, meaning it is composed of multiple elements. The first element is made of N-BAF10 glass from Schott, while the second element is made of N-SF10 glass from the same manufacturer. This combination of glasses helps to correct chromatic aberrations, ensuring sharp and clear images across the entire spectral range.
The lens has a focal length of 100mm, as indicated by the 'EFL=100mm' in its name. This, combined with its large diameter, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The lens is unmounted, meaning it does not come with any housing or mounting mechanism. This allows for flexibility in integration, as users can choose the mounting solution that best suits their specific application.
The lens is coated with Thorlabs' AC400-700-A coating on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 400-700nm spectral range.
