The LA4855-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 2-inch diameter and a focal length of 301.1 mm.
The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance UV transmission. 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.
The LA4855-UV lens comes with an anti-reflection coating (ARC) on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 245-400 nm wavelength range. The coating also helps to protect the lens from environmental contaminants and damage.
The lens has a center thickness of 5.4 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 300 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 296.3 mm. The lens has an inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm.
