The LA1116-A is a high-quality plano-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and low dispersion.
The lens has a diameter of 6.0 mm and a focal length of 10.0 mm, providing a high level of magnification and a narrow field of view. The plano-convex design ensures a flat surface on one side, which can be beneficial for applications that require a flat focal plane. The lens has a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge and 2.5 mm at the center, providing a robust and durable construction.
The LA1116-A is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 350-700 nm range. This coating ensures that the maximum amount of light is transmitted through the lens, making it ideal for use in applications such as imaging, spectroscopy, and beam shaping.
The lens is available for purchase directly from Thorlabs, and the provided weblink indicates that it is currently in stock. With its high-quality construction, excellent optical properties, and wide range of applications, the LA1116-A is an excellent choice for any optical system that requires a high-performance plano-convex lens.
