The LB4003-B is a high-quality bi-convex lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens is part of their extensive catalog of optical elements, and it is specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, with a center wavelength of 588nm.
The lens is made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transparency in the UV range. This material also offers high thermal stability and resistance to chemical etching, making it an ideal choice for various applications. The lens has a diameter of 0.5 inches (12.7mm) and a focal length of 30mm, providing a high numerical aperture (NA) and excellent image quality.
The LB4003-B features a double-sided broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating, designed for the 650-1050nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the transmission of light through the lens. The front and back thicknesses of the lens are 1.8mm and 3.3mm, respectively, providing excellent mechanical stability.
This lens is available for immediate purchase and is currently in stock on the Thorlabs website. With its superior optical performance and robust design, the LB4003-B is an excellent choice for a wide range of UV optical systems.
