This LA1464-YAG N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from Thorlabs, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a variety of applications. The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved, which is ideal for focusing or collimating light.
The lens has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 1000.0 mm, making it suitable for use in systems where a long focal length is required. The center thickness of the lens is 2.2 mm, while the edge thickness is 2 mm, providing a robust and durable design.
The lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The refractive index of this material at the specified wavelength of 587.6 nm is 1.5168.
The lens features a YAG V-Coat coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to enhance its performance at the wavelengths of 532 nm and 1064 nm. This coating helps to reduce reflection and increase transmission, improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.
