LB1437-C N-BK7 Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=150.0 mm ARC 1050-1700nm

The LB1437-C 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 1 inch, is designed for use in the spectral range of 1050-1700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in infrared spectroscopy, laser systems, and optical imaging.

The lens features a bi-convex geometry, meaning it has two spherical surfaces that are both convex, or outwardly curved. This design provides a focal length of 150.0 mm, as measured from the center of the lens. The lens has a central thickness of 5.2 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm, providing robustness and stability.

The lens is made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and wide transmission range. This material is known for its low dispersion, high homogeneity, and excellent chemical resistance. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating, denoted as THo C Bbar, which reduces surface reflections and increases transmission in the specified spectral range.

The LB1437-C is a versatile and reliable optical component, perfect for use in systems that require high-quality imaging or beam shaping in the near-infrared region. Its robust design and high-performance coating make it an excellent choice for researchers and engineers working in fields such as biophotonics, optical communication, and material processing.
