The LA1289-B is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from Thorlabs, a renowned optical components manufacturer. This lens boasts a diameter of 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) and a focal length of 30.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry, known for its excellent optical properties. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 1.8 mm at the edge and 3.2 mm at the center, providing a solid structure for efficient light transmission.
The LA1289-B is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), specifically designed for the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This coating reduces unwanted reflections, enhancing the overall transmission of light through the lens.
The lens is available in a circular base shape, which is a common form factor for many optical applications. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with the same broadband anti-reflection coating, ensuring optimal performance from both sides.
