LA1419 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:30.0 mm; f=300.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1419 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 30.0 mm, is designed for use in a variety of optical systems, offering a focal length of 300.0 mm, making it suitable for applications that require a longer focal length.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical systems due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high homogeneity. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain applications where minimal reflection is required.

The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a planar surface on one side and a convex surface on the other. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.8 mm, while the center thickness is 2.5 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 300.0 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 297.3 mm. The inner and outer radii of the lens are 0, indicating a uniform curvature.

This lens is a versatile optical component, suitable for a wide range of applications. However, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of your application, such as the desired focal length, the type of material, and the need for coatings, before making a decision.
