The AL100100-A is a high-precision aspheric lens, 100 mm in diameter, manufactured by Thorlabs. This lens is designed for use with a wavelength of 780 nm and features an effective focal length (EFL) of 100 mm and a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.48.
The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The aspheric design of the lens helps to reduce spherical aberration, providing superior image quality compared to traditional spherical lenses.
The lens is CNC polished, ensuring a high level of surface accuracy and smoothness. It features a broadband anti-reflection coating, which reduces surface reflections and increases transmission in the 350-700 nm range.
The lens has a center thickness of 36 mm and an edge thickness of 8.4 mm. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the same broadband anti-reflection coating.
This lens is ideal for use in a variety of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications. It is available for purchase through the Thorlabs website, where it is listed as being in stock at the time of writing.
