The LB4330 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 75.0 mm, is designed for use in a variety 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 wide range of wavelengths, including the ultraviolet spectrum. 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 68.3 mm, while for the second surface it is -68.3 mm. This bi-convex design helps to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring that the lens focuses light accurately. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 75.0 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 73.5 mm.
The lens has a thickness of 1.9 mm at the edge and 4.4 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating that the lens is uniformly curved. The lens is circular in shape, making it suitable for use in a wide range of optical systems.
According to the vendor's website, the lens is in stock, indicating that it is readily available for purchase and use in your optical systems.
