The LB4096-UV is a high-quality double-convex lens, boasting a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 50 mm. This lens is designed for use with ultraviolet light, specifically within the wavelength range of 245-400 nm, making it an ideal choice for applications in UV spectroscopy, UV imaging, and other UV-based technologies.
This lens is sourced from Thorlabs, a trusted name in the optical components industry, and is crafted from UVFS, a material specifically designed for use with UV light. The lens features a UV-enhanced broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating on both the front and back surfaces, which helps to minimize surface reflections and increase transmission within the designated UV wavelength range.
The LB4096-UV's geometry is characterized by its convex-convex shape, with radii of curvature of 45.1 mm on both surfaces. This design provides a wide field of view and low spherical aberration, making it suitable for a variety of imaging and spectroscopic applications. The lens has an edge thickness of 2 mm and a center thickness of 5.7 mm, providing robustness and durability.
