The LA1464-B N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch, is designed for use in a wide range of applications that require precise optical manipulation.
The lens is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. It is a spherical lens, specifically a plano-convex lens, which means it has one flat surface and one curved surface. The curvature of the lens is such that the focal length (EFL) is 1000.0 mm, making it suitable for applications that require long focal lengths.
The lens has a clear aperture of 1 inch, providing a large area for light to pass through. The edge thickness of the lens is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 2.2 mm, ensuring structural rigidity and minimal distortion. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC) that covers the wavelength range of 650-1050 nm, reducing unwanted reflections and increasing transmission.
The LA1464-B is available for purchase directly from Thorlabs, and as of the time of data collection, it is in stock. The product's webpage provides detailed specifications, technical drawings, and other useful information to help potential buyers make informed decisions.
