LA1229 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=175.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1229 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, offering a focal length of 175.0 mm and a convex shape on one side.

The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 2.9 mm at the center, providing a solid structure for reliable performance.

The base shape of the lens is circular, ensuring uniform light distribution and minimal distortion. The shape is spherical, which is a common choice for many optical applications due to its ease of manufacturing and alignment.

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 it can be easily customized with various coatings upon request.

The lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of visible light applications. The inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a flat surface on the opposite side of the convex shape.
