LA5210 50.8 mm Dia. CaF2 Plano-Convex Lens; EFL=100mm Uncoated

The LA5210 is a Plano-Convex Lens with a diameter of 50.8 mm, sourced from Thorlabs. This lens is made of Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) with a Mal-1963 material ID, specifically designed for use at a wavelength of 588 nm. The Plano-Convex shape, characterized by a flat surface and a curved surface, is a common configuration in optical systems due to its ability to minimize spherical aberration.

The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 100 mm, which is the distance from the lens's center to the focal point when the lens is imaging an object at infinity. This makes the LA5210 suitable for applications that require a long focal length, such as telephoto lenses in cameras or microscope objectives.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 11.2 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating that the curved surface is the outer surface of the lens. The lens's base shape is circular, contributing to its wide field of view.

The LA5210 does not come with any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in specific scenarios, such as when minimal reflection is required.
