The LA4306-UV UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch and a focal length of 40.1 mm, is designed for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, specifically between 245 and 400 nm.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano), and the other side is curved (convex). The lens's thickness at the edge is 2 mm, while its center thickness is 7.1 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 40 mm.
The lens is made of UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transparency in the UV region. The front and back of the lens are coated with a UV anti-reflection coating (ARC), specifically designed for the 245-400 nm range. This coating helps to reduce surface reflections, thereby increasing the amount of light transmitted through the lens.
