The LB4374 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 1 inch, is designed for use at a focal length of 1000.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise focusing and imaging.
The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This makes the LB4374 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, this also means that it is less susceptible to damage from environmental factors.
The geometry of the lens is spherical, with a center thickness of 2.2 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm. The radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 919.8 mm and -919.8 mm, respectively. The back focal length is 999.3 mm, and the effective focal length is 1000.0 mm. The lens does not have any inner or outer radius, indicating that it is a simple bi-convex lens.
The lens is available from Thorlabs, and the provided web link indicates that it is currently in stock. This makes the LB4374 a readily available option for those in need of a high-quality UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens.
