The LA1213-AB is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm, sourced from the reputable optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens is designed for use within the wavelength range of 400-1100nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm, which is a crucial parameter in lens selection. The EFL determines the distance at which the lens will focus light, influencing the overall design and functionality of the optical system.
The LA1213-AB is crafted from N-BK7, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens has a thickness of 1.8mm at the edge and 2.6mm at the center, providing structural integrity and optimal light transmission.
The lens is coated with THo AB Bbar on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the transmission of light through the lens and minimizing losses.
