The LA4936 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 0.5 inches and a focal length of 30.1 mm, is designed for use in ultraviolet light applications, making it ideal for a wide range of scientific and industrial uses.
The lens is made of UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the UV range. The plano-convex design, where one side is flat and the other is curved, allows for efficient light collection and focusing. The geometry of the lens includes a 12.7 mm diameter, a 1.8 mm edge thickness, and a 3.3 mm center thickness.
The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 30.1 mm, which is the distance from the lens at which a parallel beam of light will be focused to a point. The radius of curvature (R1) is 13.8 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 27.8 mm. The lens does not have any coating, which means it is uncoated, but its material properties ensure low absorption and scattering of light.
