The LA4337 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 2 inches, is designed for use at a wavelength of 587.6 nm and features a focal length of 1003.5 mm. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 3.7 mm at the center. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 1003.5 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 460.1 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 1000.1 mm, and the lens does not have an inner or outer radius.
The LA4337 is made of UV Fused Silica, a material with the material ID "uvfs mal- 1965". This material is known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. It also has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it suitable for applications that require stability over a wide temperature range.
According to the vendor's website, the LA4337 is currently in stock, indicating its availability for immediate purchase and delivery. The website also provides further technical specifications and application notes, which can be useful for users considering this lens for their optical systems.
