LA4380-B UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=100 mm ARC 650-1050nm

The LA4380-B UVFS 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 diameter of 1 inch and a focal length of 100 mm, making it a versatile choice for many setups.

The lens is made from UVFS, a material with a refractive index optimized for use in the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectrum. This makes it particularly suitable for applications that involve these wavelengths, such as fluorescence microscopy or laser-based systems. The lens features an antireflection coating (ARC) designed for use in the 650-1050nm range, further enhancing its performance in these applications.

The LA4380-B has a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side of the lens is flat while the other is curved. This design provides a large, flat surface for easy integration into optical systems, while the curved surface focuses light to a point. The lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.8 mm at the center, providing robustness and stability.

The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 100.3 mm, a value that remains consistent across the lens's diameter due to its plano-convex design. The radius of curvature (R1) of the curved surface is 46 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 97.7 mm. The lens does not have an inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
