The LB4537-C is a high-quality UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 6 mm and a focal length of 15.0 mm, is designed for use in the UV-VIS-NIR spectrum, specifically optimized for the 1050-1700nm range.
The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a thickness at the edge of 1.5 mm and a center thickness of 2.2 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 15 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 14.2 mm. The radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 13.4 mm and -13.4 mm, respectively. The lens is designed with a spherical shape, ensuring excellent optical performance.
The LB4537-C is made from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its high transparency in the UV-VIS-NIR range and its exceptional mechanical and thermal properties. This makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, laser systems, beam shaping, and imaging systems.
The lens features broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces, designed for the 1050-1700nm range. These coatings significantly reduce surface reflections, improving the overall transmission of the lens.
