The LA1832-B N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 30.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where high-resolution imaging and precise light control are required.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making it ideal for use in microscopy, beam shaping, and laser applications. The lens has a focal length of 250.0 mm, which is the distance between the lens and the point where the light rays converge. This long focal length makes the lens suitable for applications requiring a narrow, well-defined beam of light.
The LA1832-B lens is made from N-BK7, a high-quality borosilicate glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. This material ensures high transmittance across a wide spectrum, particularly in the visible and near-infrared regions. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC) designed for the 650-1050nm range, further enhancing its light transmission capabilities.
The lens has a thickness of 1.7 mm at the edge and 2.6 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a sharp curvature on the convex side. The lens's shape is spherical, ensuring a uniform curvature across the surface.
