LA1027-A N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=35.0 mm ARC 350-700nm

The LA1027-A is a plano-convex lens made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties. This lens, sourced from Thorlabs, has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 35 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 7.2 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 35 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 18 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 30.1 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm.

The LA1027-A is coated with ARC 350-700nm, a broadband anti-reflection coating that reduces reflection across the visible spectrum, enhancing transmission and improving overall system performance. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens.

This lens is a spherical lens, meaning it has a spherical surface. The base shape is circular, which is a common shape for optical elements. The material ID is n-bk7 schott, indicating the specific type of glass used in the lens.

The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This wavelength is often used as a reference point for optical calculations and specifications.
