The LA1207 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 0.5 inches, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering a focal length of 100.0 mm.
The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material, also known as BK7, is widely used in optical systems due to its low dispersion and high transmission in the visible spectrum. The LA1207 lens, in particular, is designed for use at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The lens geometry is spherical, with a planoconvex shape. The radius of curvature for the convex surface is 51.5 mm, and the back focal length is 98.2 mm. The lens has a central thickness of 2.2 mm and an edge thickness of 1.8 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a circular shape with no additional curvature or features.
The LA1207 lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a natural lens surface is desired, but it may also result in increased reflection and decreased transmission compared to coated lenses.
