The LA1222-A 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 glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens has a diameter of 6.0 mm and a focal length of 15.0 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a compact, high-performance lens is required.
The lens features an anti-reflection coating, designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 350-700 nm spectral range. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance and minimal loss of light.
The geometry of the lens is carefully controlled, with a thickness at the edge of 1.5 mm and a center thickness of 2.1 mm. The lens has a front radius of curvature (R1) of 7.7 mm and a back focal length (BFL) of 13.6 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a flat surface on the back of the lens.
This lens is part of Thorlabs' extensive catalog of optical elements, which includes a wide variety of lenses, mirrors, beam splitters, and other components. The item data provided ensures that users have access to comprehensive information about the lens, aiding in the selection process and ensuring that the chosen component meets the specific requirements of the application.
