This is the LA1031-C N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. The lens boasts a diameter of 30.0 mm and a focal length of 100.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as Schott glass, is characterized by its low dispersion and high transmission across a broad spectrum, making it ideal for use in laser systems and other applications where high-quality imaging is required.
The LA1031-C features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side of the lens is flat (plano), while the other side is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making the lens ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where precise light control is required.
The lens has a thickness of 2.5 mm at the edge and 4.7 mm at the center. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to operate in the 1050-1700 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving the overall transmission of the lens and enhancing its performance in high-power laser applications.
