LB4096 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=50.0 mm Uncoated

The LB4096 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch and a focal length of 50.0 mm, is designed for use in a wide range of applications that require precise optical manipulation.

The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties across a broad spectrum, including the ultraviolet range. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that involve UV light. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, its base material provides excellent performance on its own.

The lens geometry is spherical, with both surfaces curved outwards (convex). The radius of curvature for the first surface is 45.1 mm, while for the second surface it is -45.1 mm. This bi-convex design helps to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring that the lens focuses light accurately. The lens has a central thickness of 5.7 mm and an edge thickness of 1.8 mm, providing robustness and durability.

The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for applications that operate in this region of the spectrum. It is important to note that the lens's performance can vary depending on the specific wavelength of light used.
