The LA4249 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 5 mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require precise optical control. The lens features a focal length of 10.0 mm, providing a balance between field of view and focus.
The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties across a wide range of wavelengths, including the ultraviolet spectrum. This makes the LA4249 particularly suitable for applications in UV optics. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this also means that it is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors.
The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a plano-convex shape. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is 4.6 mm, and the back focal length is 8.5 mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 1.5 mm, while the center thickness is 2.2 mm. This lens is available in stock, according to the vendor's website.
