LA4052-UV UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=35.1 mm ARC 245-400nm

This LA4052-UV UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from Thorlabs, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. The lens features a plano-convex geometry, which is a type of spherical lens with one flat surface and one curved surface. This design is often used to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring optimal image quality.

The lens has a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 35.1 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 35 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is used in air. The lens's thickness at the edge is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 8.2 mm.

The LA4052-UV lens is made from UV Fused Silica, a high-purity silica glass that is highly transparent in the ultraviolet region. This makes it ideal for use in UV applications. The lens is coated with a UV ARC coating, specifically designed for the 245-400 nm range, which further enhances its UV transmission capabilities.

The coating on both the front and back surfaces of the lens is a UV ARC coating, which is designed to enhance the lens's durability and performance in UV applications. This coating reduces surface reflections and increases transmission in the UV region, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission and low reflection.
