LA4464 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:2 in; f=60.2 mm; Uncoated

The LA4464 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 2 inches and a focal length of 60.2 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications that require excellent optical performance.

The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its exceptional transparency across a broad spectrum, including the ultraviolet region. This makes the LA4464 particularly suitable for applications that involve UV light. The material also boasts a high thermal stability and resistance to chemical environments, adding to its durability and longevity.

The Plano-Convex design of the lens, where one surface is flat and the other is curved, provides a number of advantages. It offers a large clear aperture, minimal spherical aberration, and high efficiency for collimated light. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 19.8 mm at the center, with an effective focal length of 60.2 mm. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 27.6 mm.

The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in many applications, especially where the light is not too intense or the distance between the lens and the light source is not too close.
