LA4306 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=40.1 mm Uncoated

The LA4306 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch and a focal length of 40.1 mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require excellent optical performance.

The lens is made of UV fused silica, a material known for its high transparency in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that involve UV light. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, its base material provides excellent optical performance, making it a reliable choice for many applications.

The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a plano-convex shape. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is 18.4 mm, and the back focal length is 35.3 mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 2 mm, while the center thickness is 7.1 mm. These parameters are crucial in determining the lens's performance in a given optical system.

The LA4306 is available from Thorlabs and is currently in stock. The vendor's website provides detailed specifications and technical data, which can be useful for further understanding the lens's properties and capabilities. This lens is a testament to Thorlabs' commitment to providing high-quality, reliable optical components for a wide range of applications.
