LA2036-A 3 mm Dia. N-SF11 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=6mm 350-700nm
The LA2036-A is a 3 mm diameter Plano-Convex spherical lens, designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically between 350-700nm. This lens is sourced from Thorlabs, a reputable vendor known for their high-quality optical components.
The lens is made from N-SF11 Schott glass, a material with a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications. The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 6mm, which is the distance from the lens at which light rays converge after passing through the lens.
The lens has a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). The thickness of the lens at the edge is 1.2mm, while the thickness at the center is 1.5mm. The curvature of the convex side is defined by a radius (R1) of 4.7mm.
The LA2036-A lens features anti-reflection coatings on both the front and back surfaces. These coatings, designated as 'tho a bbar', are designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
