LA1700 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=30.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1700 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, offering a focal length of 30.0 mm.

The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is often used in high-precision optical applications due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and its high Abbe number, which contributes to its low chromatic dispersion. The N-BK7 material ensures high-quality imaging and minimal distortion.

The Plano-Convex design of this lens, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 15.5 mm, which contributes to its focal length and light-bending capabilities. The lens has a central thickness of 1.8 mm and an edge thickness of 1.5 mm, providing structural integrity and resistance to deformation.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection and increasing transmission, an uncoated lens can be suitable for applications where such enhancements are not necessary.

This lens is currently in stock and available for immediate use. For more information, including technical specifications and purchasing details, please refer to the vendor's website at https://www.thorlabs.com/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=LA1700.
