The LA1258 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 variety of applications that require precise optical control.
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 use in a wide range of wavelengths. The LA1258, in particular, is designed for use with a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). This design allows for precise control of the light passing through the lens. The radius of curvature of the convex side is 1033.6 mm, and the lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 2000.0 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 1998.6 mm.
The LA1258 has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 2.1 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, it can be customized with various coatings upon request.
