LA4716-UV UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=752.6 mm ARC 245-400nm

The LA4716-UV UV Fused Silica 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 and a focal length of 752.6 mm.

The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes the LA4716-UV particularly suitable for applications that require high-performance UV transmission, such as UV curing, fluorescence microscopy, and various types of spectroscopy.

The lens features a plano-convex geometry, with a spherical surface on one side and a flat surface on the other. This design provides a large clear aperture for efficient light collection and transmission, while also minimizing spherical aberration. The lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 2.2 mm at the center, providing excellent mechanical stability.

The LA4716-UV is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, specifically designed for the 245-400 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and enhancing the overall performance of the lens. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, ensuring optimal performance from both sides.
