The LA1401-AB is a 50.8 mm diameter Plano-Convex lens made from N-BK7 Schott glass, featuring an effective focal length (EFL) of 60mm and designed for use within the wavelength range of 400-1100nm. This lens is sourced from Thorlabs, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens's geometry includes a 3mm thickness at the edge, increasing to a center thickness of 16.3mm. The front surface has a radius of curvature of 30.9mm, while the back surface is planar. The lens's shape is spherical, and it features anti-reflection coatings (AR) on both the front and back surfaces, specifically Thorlabs' AB coating, optimized for broadband anti-reflection within the specified wavelength range.
This lens is ideal for applications that require a high-quality, broadband lens with a long focal length. Its Plano-Convex design provides a large working distance, making it suitable for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other optical setups. The lens's N-BK7 Schott glass material ensures excellent optical performance, low auto-fluorescence, and high damage threshold, making it an excellent choice for various applications in research, industry, and education.
