LA1470-C N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=12.0 mm ARC 1050-1700nm
The LA1470-C is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0 mm, is designed for use in the 1050-1700nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the infrared spectrum.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, high damage threshold, and chemical resistance. The Plano-Convex geometry, where one side is flat and the other is curved, is a common configuration in optical systems due to its ease of alignment and focusing capabilities.
The LA1470-C has a focal length of 12.0 mm, which is the distance from the lens to the point where the light rays converge. This focal length, combined with the lens's diameter, results in a high numerical aperture, enabling the lens to gather and focus light efficiently.
The lens features Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for the 1050-1700nm wavelength range. These coatings reduce surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system performance.
