The LA1576-A is a high-quality plano-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, and features a diameter of 9.0 mm and a focal length of 12.0 mm.
The lens has a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat while the other is curved. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 6.2 mm, which contributes to its focusing power. The lens's center thickness is 3.4 mm, while the edge thickness is 1.5 mm, providing structural integrity and resistance to damage.
The LA1576-A is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to operate between 350-700 nm. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving transmission and enhancing the overall performance of the lens. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens.
