LA4924-B UVFS Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=175 mm ARC 650-1050nm

The LA4924-B UVFS 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 and a focal length of 175 mm, is designed for use in the ARC 650-1050nm wavelength range, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in the optical spectrum.

The lens is spherical in shape, with a base shape of a circle. It features a plano-convex geometry, which means one side of the lens is flat (plano), while the other side is curved (convex). This geometry is often used to focus or collimate light in various optical systems. The lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3 mm at the center, providing a robust structure for handling and integration into optical systems.

The LA4924-B UVFS Plano-Convex Lens is made from UVFS material with the Mal-1965 material ID. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision optics. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (tho b bbar) on both the front and back surfaces, which helps to minimize light loss due to reflection and enhances the overall efficiency of the optical system.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 175.6 mm, which is a measure of the lens's ability to focus light. The front radius (r1) of the lens is 80.5 mm, and the back focal length (bfl) is 173.6 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens surface.
