LB1157-B N-BK7 Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:6.0 mm; f=10.0 mm ARC 650-1050nm
The LB1157-B is a high-quality bi-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed with a diameter of 6.0 mm and a focal length of 10.0 mm. This lens is fabricated from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for various applications.
The lens features a double-convex geometry, which provides a superior optical performance. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), specifically designed for the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby enhancing the overall transmission of the lens.
The lens has a central thickness of 2.4 mm and an edge thickness of 1.5 mm, ensuring robustness and durability. The inner and outer radii are 0 mm, and the back focal length is 9.2 mm. The lens is available in the Schott n-BK7 material, which offers a high Abbe number and low dispersion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including laser systems, interferometry, and imaging applications.
