LA1700-C N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=30.0 mm ARC 1050-1700nm
The LA1700-C is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading global supplier of photonics equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 6.0 mm, is made from the renowned N-BK7 glass, a borosilicate crown glass known for its excellent optical properties, making it a popular choice for various applications.
The lens features a focal length of 30.0 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point where light rays converge or diverge. This focal length, combined with the lens's diameter, allows for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and focusing.
The LA1700-C is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to operate between 1050-1700nm. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system performance.
The lens has a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge and 1.8 mm at the center, ensuring structural integrity while minimizing optical aberrations. The lens's geometry, including its inner and outer radii, is designed to provide optimal performance for its intended applications.
