The LA1978-780 is a Plano-Convex lens, specifically designed for use in the optical spectrum around 780nm. Manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components, this lens boasts a high-quality N-BK7 Schott glass base material, renowned for its excellent optical properties.
The lens has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4mm) and a thickness of 2mm at the edge, while the center thickness measures 2.2mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 750mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require long focal lengths.
The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 386.3mm on the planar side and a back focal length of 746.06mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform curvature across the surface.
The LA1978-780 lens features a V-coat on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for 780nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in its intended wavelength range, providing improved transmission and reduced reflection.
