LB4096-A UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:1 in; f=50.0 mm ARC 350-700nm

The LB4096-A is a high-quality bi-convex lens, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm), is specifically designed for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, with a focal length of 50.0 mm, making it ideal for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens is made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transparency in the UV range, ensuring high-quality image transmission. The bi-convex shape, with radii of curvature of 45.1 mm on both sides, provides a large area of high-quality imaging, making it suitable for use in imaging systems, beam shaping, and other applications where high-quality light manipulation is required.

The lens features an anti-reflection (AR) coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 350-700 nm range. This coating ensures that the maximum amount of light is transmitted through the lens, reducing losses and improving the overall performance of the optical system.

The lens has a center thickness of 5.7 mm and an edge thickness of 1.8 mm, providing excellent mechanical stability and resistance to damage. The lens is also designed with a large clear aperture, providing a wide field of view and reducing vignetting effects.
