The LA4052-C UVFS 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 1 inch and a focal length of 35 mm, is designed for use in the ARC 1050-1700nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the optical spectrum.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features a plano-convex geometry, where one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). This geometry allows for efficient light transmission and focusing. The lens has a center thickness of 8.2 mm and an edge thickness of 1.9 mm, providing a solid and durable structure.
The LA4052-C UVFS Plano-Convex Lens is made from UVFS material with the Mal-1965 ID. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optics. The lens is coated on both the front and back surfaces with a broadband anti-reflection coating (tho c bbar), which reduces surface reflections and increases transmission.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 35.1 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal point to the focal point. The front radius (r1) of the lens is 16.1 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 29.5 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens.
