The LA4184-UV is a plano-convex lens made from UV fused silica, a high-quality material renowned for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet (UV) range. This lens, sourced from Thorlabs, is designed with a diameter of 1 inch and a focal length of 501.8 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens geometry features a 2-inch thick edge and a 2.4-inch thick center, with an effective focal length (EFL) of 500 mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 230 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 498.4 mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, contributing to its high-performance capabilities.
The LA4184-UV is coated with a UV ARC coating, specifically designed for the 245-400 nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission in the specified wavelength range.
