The LA1433-A is a high-quality plano-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The lens has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 150.0 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a long focal length is required.
The lens features a spherical surface with a radius of curvature of 77.3 mm on the convex side. The flange focal length (BFL) is 147.5 mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 150.0 mm. The lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.1 mm at the center.
The LA1433-A is coated with Thorlabs' AR coating, which is designed to reduce reflection over the 350-700 nm range. This coating ensures high transmission and low loss, making the lens ideal for use in laser systems and other applications where high light levels are required.
The lens is available for purchase directly from Thorlabs, and the company's website indicates that it is currently in stock. This makes the LA1433-A a convenient choice for researchers and engineers who need a high-quality plano-convex lens quickly.
