LA1050-A N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:2 in; f=100.0 mm ARC 350-700nm
The LA1050-A is a plano-convex lens made of N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This lens, sourced from Thorlabs, has a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a focal length of 100.0 mm. The lens's design, with a spherical shape and a clear aperture, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens's geometry includes an edge thickness of 3 mm and a center thickness of 9.7 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 100 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 93.3 mm. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other.
The LA1050-A is coated with THo A Bbar on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is designed for the 350-700 nm wavelength range, reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.
This lens is a versatile optical component, ideal for applications that require a plano-convex lens with a long focal length. Its high-quality N-BK7 glass and anti-reflection coating ensure excellent optical performance, making it a reliable choice for various applications in fields such as imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems.
