The LA1560-AB is a Plano-Convex Lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm, sourced from the reputable optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 25mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require moderate magnification. The Plano-Convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing.
The LA1560-AB is coated with THo AB Bbar on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing unwanted reflections and increasing transmission, thereby improving the overall efficiency and quality of the optical system.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 1.8mm at the edge and 3.5mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0mm, and the curvature radius (R1) is 12.9mm. The lens is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 400-1100nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and laser systems.
