LA1986 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=125.0 mm Uncoated

The LA1986 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 1 inch, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, offering a focal length of 125.0 mm and a spherical shape.

The lens is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock. It also has a high homogeneity and a low optical dispersion, making it an ideal choice for various optical applications.

The Plano-Convex design of this lens features a flat surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 64.4 mm, which contributes to its focusing power. The lens has a central thickness of 3.3 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm, providing structural integrity and resistance to deformation.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired. However, it may also mean that the lens is more susceptible to damage from environmental factors, such as dust or moisture.

The LA1986 N-BK7 Plano-Convex Lens is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website. It is a versatile and reliable optical component, suitable for use in a variety of applications, from imaging systems to beam shaping and more.
