The LA4464-UV is a UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens, a high-quality optical component designed for use in the ultraviolet spectrum. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor Thorlabs, boasts a diameter of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a focal length of 60.2 mm.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a plano-convex shape, where one side is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The edge thickness of the lens is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 19.8 mm, providing a robust structure that can withstand typical handling and usage.
The lens is made from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet region. This material also exhibits low autofluorescence, making it ideal for applications that require high sensitivity and low background noise.
The LA4464-UV comes with an anti-reflective coating (ARC) on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, specific to the wavelength range of 245-400 nm, ensures high transmission and minimal reflection, further enhancing the lens's performance in UV applications.
