The LA4148 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm), is designed for use at a focal length of 50.2 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is fabricated from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transparency across a broad spectrum, including the ultraviolet region. This makes the LA4148 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission in the UV range.
The lens geometry is plano-convex, meaning one side is flat (plano), and the other side is curved (convex). The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 23 mm. The lens has a central thickness of 5.8 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm, providing robustness and stability in its mounting.
The LA4148 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surfaces to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where the natural properties of the UV Fused Silica are desired. However, for applications where reduced reflection or increased transmission at specific wavelengths is required, coatings can be applied.
