The LA4966-UV is a UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens boasts a diameter of 6 mm and a focal length of 30.1 mm, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens is designed with a spherical shape, featuring a plano-convex geometry. The base shape is circular, and the lens has a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge, which gradually increases to 1.8 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 30 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 13.8 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 28.8 mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0 mm, indicating a flat surface.
The LA4966-UV lens is made from UV Fused Silica, a material with the material ID "uvfs mal- 1965". This material is known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet (UV) region, making this lens particularly suitable for UV applications.
The lens is coated with a UV ARC coating, specifically designed for the wavelength range of 245-400 nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission in the specified wavelength range.
