The LA1253-A is a high-quality plano-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The lens has a diameter of 25.0 mm and a focal length of 200.0 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a long focal length is required.
The lens features an anti-reflection coating, designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 350-700 nm range. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring high-quality performance and minimal loss of light. The lens has a thickness of 2.04 mm at the edge and 2.8 mm at the center, providing a robust and durable design.
The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 103 mm on the convex side. The back surface of the lens is flat, providing a planar surface for coupling with other optical components. The lens has a clear aperture of 25.0 mm, providing a wide field of view and high light-gathering capability.
