The LA4194-UV UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. Manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components, this lens boasts a 6 mm diameter and a focal length of 20.1 mm, making it a versatile choice for many setups.
The lens is made from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes the LA4194-UV particularly suitable for use in UV-based applications. The lens also features an Anti-Reflective (AR) coating on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for the 245-400 nm wavelength range. This coating helps to minimize light loss due to reflection, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The lens geometry is spherical, with a plano-convex design. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is 9.2 mm, and the back focal length is 28.8 mm. The lens has a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge and 2 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a flat surface.
