The LB1247 N-BK7 Bi-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of precision photonics. This lens, with a diameter of 2 inches, is designed for use at a focal length of 750.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-precision imaging or light manipulation. The N-BK7 designation indicates that this lens is made from Schott glass, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality optical glass.
The lens features a bi-convex geometry, meaning it has two spherical surfaces that are both convex, or outwardly curved. This shape is often used in optical systems to focus or collimate light. The lens has a center thickness of 3.8 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LB1247 lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical components in certain applications, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in situations where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, or a lack of specialized coating requirements are important factors.
