LB1014-C N-BK7 Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:0.5 in; f=25.0 mm ARC 1050-1700nm
The LB1014-C is a high-quality bi-convex lens, manufactured by the renowned optical components supplier, Thorlabs. This lens, designed for use in the 1050-1700nm wavelength range, is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens features a diameter of 0.5 inches (12.7mm) and a thickness of 1.8mm at the edge, increasing to 3.6mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 12mm, and the front and back radii of curvature are 25.2mm and -25.2mm respectively, resulting in a back focal length (BFL) of 23.8mm.
The LB1014-C is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary AR coating, designed to reduce reflection across the 1050-1700nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the lens's performance in transmission applications, ensuring optimal light transmission and reducing unwanted reflections.
The lens's spherical shape allows for excellent focusing capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications. The lens is also designed to be robust and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance even under heavy use.
