LA4579-C UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=300 mm ARC 1050-1700nm
The LA4579-C UVFS 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 the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1050nm and 1700nm, making it ideal for applications that require precise manipulation of light in this range.
The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other is curved (convex). The radius of curvature of the curved side is 138mm, and the lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 301.1mm. The center thickness of the lens is 2.6mm, while the edge thickness is 2mm, providing a robust structure for various applications.
The LA4579-C lens is made from UVFS, a material with the material ID "uvfs mal- 1965". This material is known for its excellent optical properties in the infrared spectrum. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), specifically designed for the wavelength range of 1050-1700nm. This coating reduces unwanted reflections, improving the overall efficiency and performance of the lens.
