The LA4725-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 (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 75.3 mm.
The lens is constructed from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet (UV) range. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance UV transmission, such as UV curing, fluorescence microscopy, and UV laser systems.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, with a spherical surface on one side and a flat surface on the other. This design allows for efficient light collection and focusing, making it suitable for use as a focusing or collimating element in optical systems.
The LA4725-UV lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection (AR) coating, specifically designed for the UV range (245-400 nm). This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
