LA4716 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=752.6 mm Uncoated

The LA4716 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch, is designed for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications, making it an ideal choice for projects and setups that require precise manipulation of UV light.

The lens features a plano-convex design, which means one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). This design is often used to focus or collimate light in various optical systems. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 345.1 millimeters, and its effective focal length (EFL) is 752.6 millimeters. This EFL indicates how the lens will affect the light passing through it, providing a longer focal length for more precise manipulation.

The lens is made of UV fused silica, a material known for its high transparency in the UV region of the spectrum. This material also has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock and suitable for use in environments with varying temperatures.

The LA4716 lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, this does not affect its performance in UV applications. The lens has a central thickness of 2.2 millimeters and an edge thickness of 2 millimeters, providing durability and stability.
