The LB4545 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 300.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties across a broad spectrum, including the ultraviolet range. This makes the LB4545 an ideal choice for applications that require high transmission in the UV range.
The lens features a spherical geometry, with radii of curvature of 275.6 mm for the first surface and -275.6 mm for the second surface. This bi-convex design helps to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring optimal image quality. The lens has a central thickness of 2.6 mm and an edge thickness of 2 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LB4545 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces. While this may result in slightly lower transmission compared to coated lenses, it does offer the advantage of reduced cost and simplicity.
