The LB1596 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 and a focal length of 60.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of optical systems, including imaging, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7, a popular borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties. This material is characterized by a high refractive index and low dispersion, making it ideal for applications that require high image quality and color correction. The lens's geometry features a bi-convex design, meaning it has two spherical surfaces that are both convex, or outwardly curved. This design is often used to collimate or focus light beams in optical systems.
The lens's geometry also includes a diameter of 25.4 mm, with a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 4.7 mm at the center. The effective focal length (EFL) is 60.0 mm, while the back focal length (BFL) is 58.4 mm. The radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 61 mm and -61 mm, respectively. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings applied to its surfaces.
