The LA1050-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 glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens has a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a focal length of 100.0 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a long focal length is required.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 9.7 mm at the center, providing a solid structure while minimizing unnecessary weight. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically designed for the 650-1050 nm range. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system efficiency.
The LA1050-B's spherical shape ensures excellent image quality and low distortion, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high optical performance. The lens is currently in stock, as indicated by its valid weblink status, and is available for immediate purchase from Thorlabs.
