The LB1437-A is a high-quality bi-convex lens from Thorlabs, designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-performance optics.
The lens features a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a focal length of 150.0 mm. The bi-convex design, characterized by two spherical surfaces that curve outwards, provides a large field of view and low spherical aberration. This makes it suitable for applications that require high image quality over a large area.
The lens has a central thickness of 3.1 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm, providing robustness and durability. The edges are rounded, reducing the risk of damage during handling and installation. The lens also features an Anti-Reflection coating on both the front and back surfaces, which enhances transmission and reduces reflection, particularly in the 350-700 nm wavelength range.
The LB1437-A is available from Thorlabs and is currently in stock, making it a readily available option for your optical system needs. With its superior optical performance, robust design, and wide availability, the LB1437-A is an excellent choice for a variety of optical applications.
