The LA1031-B is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is fabricated from N-BK7, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance and precision.
The lens features a diameter of 30.0 mm and a focal length of 100.0 mm, providing a large clear aperture and a long focal length. The plano-convex design, where one surface is flat and the other is curved, offers a number of advantages, including a wide field of view, low distortion, and high efficiency.
The LA1031-B is coated with Thorlabs' Broadband Anti-Reflection coating, which is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission over the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This coating ensures optimal performance and minimal loss of light, making it suitable for use in applications such as laser systems, imaging systems, and beam shaping.
The lens has a thickness of 2.5 mm at the edge and 4.7 mm at the center, providing robustness and durability. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a sharp curvature that contributes to the lens' high performance.
