The LA1255-C 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 Schott glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens has a diameter of 25.0 mm and a focal length of 50.0 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a long focal length.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 2.07 mm at the edge and 5.3 mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a low profile. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to operate in the 1050-1700 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the overall transmission of the lens and minimizing losses due to reflection.
The LA1255-C is a spherical lens, featuring a radius of curvature of 25.8 mm on the curved surface. The back surface is planar, providing a flat surface for easy integration into optical systems. The lens is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, making it an ideal choice for users looking for a reliable and readily available optical component.
