LA4579-A UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=300 mm ARC 350-700nm

The LA4579-A 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 (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 300 mm.

The lens is constructed from UVFS material, which is specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require precise manipulation of light in this range. The lens features a plano-convex geometry, with a flat front surface and a curved back surface. This design allows for efficient light transmission and focusing, making it a versatile choice for a variety of optical systems.

The LA4579-A lens features a broadband anti-reflection coating, denoted as THo A Bbar, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission, thereby improving the overall performance of the lens. The coating is effective over a wide wavelength range, from 350 to 700 nm, making it suitable for use with a variety of light sources.

The lens has a center thickness of 2.6 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 301.1 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 299.3 mm. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 138 mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
