The LA1907-B N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 30.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications, particularly where precise focusing and high light transmission are required.
The lens is made of N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for use in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum, making it a versatile choice for many applications. The lens has a focal length of 150.0 mm, providing a moderate level of magnification and a wide field of view.
The Plano-Convex design of this lens, with a flat front surface and a curved back surface, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The radius of curvature of the back surface is 77.3 mm, and the back focal length is 147.5 mm. This design also ensures a low level of spherical aberration, further enhancing the lens's performance.
The lens features broadband anti-reflection coatings, specifically designed for use in the 650-1050 nm range. These coatings reduce surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the lens. This is particularly beneficial in applications where high light levels and low loss are critical.
In terms of dimensions, the lens has a thickness of 1.6 mm at the edge and 3.1 mm at the center. The lens is circular in shape, making it suitable for use in a wide range of optical systems.
