LA4384 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:75 mm; f=90.3 mm Uncoated

The LA4384 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 75 mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require precise optical control.

The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features a plano-convex design, which means one side of the lens is flat (plano), while the other side is curved (convex). This design is often used to control the divergence or convergence of light beams in optical systems.

The geometry of the lens is carefully crafted to ensure optimal performance. The thickness at the edge of the lens is 3 mm, and it maintains this thickness at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 90.3 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the point at which a beam of light parallel to the lens's axis converges or diverges.

The lens is made from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications due to its low absorption in the UV region. The lens's inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a sharp transition between the lens's curved and flat surfaces.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm. It does not come with any coating, which means it is uncoated. However, coatings can be added to enhance the lens's performance in specific applications, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission.
