The LA2036-B is a 3 mm diameter Plano-Convex spherical lens, sourced from the reputable optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens is designed for use within the wavelength range of 650-1050nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of 6mm, which is a critical specification for determining the lens's magnification and field of view. The EFL, combined with the lens's diameter, allows for precise placement within optical systems.
The LA2036-B is fabricated from N-SF11 Schott glass, a material known for its high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes the lens ideal for applications requiring high-resolution imaging or where chromatic aberration needs to be minimized.
The lens's geometry includes a 1.2mm thickness at the edge and 1.5mm at the center, providing structural integrity and ensuring minimal distortion. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with THo BBAR, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission across the lens's operational wavelength range.
