LA1050 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:2 in; f=100.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1050 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 2 inches, is designed to focus light at a focal length of 100.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision focusing and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain applications where low reflectivity is desired.

The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a planar surface on one side and a convex surface on the other. The planar surface has a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 9.7 mm at the center, while the curvature of the convex surface is defined by a radius of 51.5 mm. The back focal length of the lens is 93.3 mm, and it has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.

This lens is a versatile optical component that can be used in various applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications. It is currently in stock, as indicated by its valid web link status, making it readily available for immediate use.
