LA1470-A N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=12.0 mm ARC 350-700nm
The LA1470-A is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0 mm, is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is ideal for a wide range of applications. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 6.2 mm, and it has a center thickness of 2.3 mm and an edge thickness of 1.5 mm.
The lens boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 12.0 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is imaging an object at infinity. The back focal length (BFL), which is the distance from the lens's rear surface to its focal point, is 10.5 mm.
The LA1470-A is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), designed to operate between 350-700 nm. This coating reduces reflection and increases transmission, enhancing the lens's performance in a variety of applications.
