The LA1116-C 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, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance optics.
The lens has a diameter of 6.0 mm and a focal length of 10.0 mm, providing a compact and efficient solution for focusing or collimating light. The plano-convex design allows for a large numerical aperture (NA), enhancing the lens's light-gathering capability and improving its performance in applications that require high resolution and contrast.
The LA1116-C is coated with Thorlabs' broadband anti-reflection coating, which is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission across the 1050-1700nm wavelength range. This coating ensures optimal performance in near-infrared (NIR) applications, such as fiber optics, spectroscopy, and laser systems.
The lens's geometry includes a 1.5 mm thick edge and a 2.5 mm thick center, providing excellent mechanical stability and resistance to damage from handling or environmental factors. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a flat inner surface and a curved outer surface.
