LA4579 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=301.1 mm Uncoated
The LA4579 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 1 inch, is designed for use in applications that require a focal length of 301.1 mm.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a plano-convex base shape. The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 2.6 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 301.1 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 299.3 mm. The lens does not have any coating, as indicated by the empty "coating" field in the item data.
The material of the lens is UV fused silica, which is known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes the LA4579 lens particularly suitable for applications that involve UV light. The material is identified in the item data as "uvfs mal- 1965".
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible spectrum, suggesting that the lens could also be used in applications involving visible light.
