The LA1031 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 30.0 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering a focal length of 100.0 mm, making it suitable for applications that require moderate magnification.
The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and its high Abbe number, which contributes to its superior optical performance.
The Plano-Convex design of this lens, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 51.5 mm, and the lens has a back focal length of 96.5 mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 2.5 mm, while the center thickness is 4.7 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, and uncoated lenses are often preferred for their cost-effectiveness and simplicity.
