The LA1050-C is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from the reputable optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens boasts a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a focal length of 100.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is crafted from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass commonly used in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light convergence.
The LA1050-C features an Anti-Reflection coating on both the front and back surfaces, optimized for the wavelength range of 1050-1700 nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and minimizing signal loss.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 9.7 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, and the back focal length is 93.3 mm. The effective focal length is 100.0 mm.
