The LA4924-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 175.6 mm, making it a versatile choice for many setups.
The lens is constructed from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes the LA4924-UV particularly suitable for use in UV applications, where maintaining high transmission rates is crucial.
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 the lens ideal for use in imaging systems, beam shaping applications, and more.
The LA4924-UV is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, designed to reduce surface reflections and improve transmission. The coating covers the wavelength range of 245-400 nm, ensuring optimal performance in UV applications.
In terms of dimensions, the lens has a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are 0, indicating a circular shape. The effective focal length (EFL) is 175 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 172.9 mm.
