LA1222 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=15.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1222 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 6.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, offering a focal length of 15.0 mm for precise focusing and imaging.

The lens is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for applications that require high-resolution imaging and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, and uncoated lenses can be beneficial in certain scenarios due to their lower cost and simpler design.

The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a flat (plano) surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 7.7 mm, which contributes to its focal length and overall optical performance. The lens has a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge and 2.1 mm at the center, providing structural integrity and stability in optical systems.

The LA1222 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is designed to work with light of a specific wavelength, in this case, 587.6 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, making this lens suitable for applications that involve visible light.
