The LA1484-A is a high-quality plano-convex lens manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens is made of N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for various applications.
The lens has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a thickness of 2 mm at the edge, which gradually increases to 2.5 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 300 mm, and its radius of curvature (ROC) is 154.5 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 297.3 mm, and the lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a flat surface on the opposite side of the curved face.
The LA1484-A lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC) that covers the wavelength range of 350-700 nm, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, imaging, beam shaping, and laser systems. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, further enhancing its performance.
