LA4663 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=1003.5 mm Uncoated

The LA4663 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 a variety of applications that require precise optical control.

The lens is spherical in shape, with a plano-convex design. The base shape is circular, and the geometry includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 2.2 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 1003.5 mm, making it suitable for applications that require long focal lengths.

The LA4663 lens is made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties and resistance to thermal shock. This makes it an ideal choice for applications involving ultraviolet light. The material has an index of refraction of 1.46 at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection and increasing transmission, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications, such as those involving high-power lasers, where the build-up of heat can be a concern.

The LA4663 lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase. For more detailed information, including technical specifications and purchasing options, please refer to the vendor's website using the provided weblink.
