LB4280-A UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:6 mm; f=10.0 mm ARC 350-700nm

The LB4280-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 6 mm, is specifically engineered for use in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require precise focusing or imaging within this range.

The lens features a focal length of 10.0 mm, indicated by the 'f' value, which is a critical parameter in lens selection. This focal length, combined with the lens's diameter, allows for a compact and efficient optical system. The lens's geometry includes an edge thickness of 1.5 mm and a center thickness of 2.6 mm, contributing to its robustness and durability.

The LB4280-A is made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency in the UV range. This material also offers excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), designed to operate between 350 and 700 nm. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system performance. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens.
