The LA1433-780 is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading global supplier of photonics equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch, is made from the renowned N-BK7 glass from Schott, a material known for its excellent optical properties.
The lens features a focal length of 150.0 mm at a wavelength of 780 nm, making it ideal for applications that require precise focusing and imaging in the near-infrared spectrum. The Plano-Convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and minimal spherical aberration.
The lens is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary V-Coat, a broadband anti-reflection coating specifically designed for the 780 nm wavelength. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing transmission and improving overall system performance.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.1 mm at the center, providing robustness and stability. The inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a sharp edge and a smooth, continuous surface.
