LB4553 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens; Dia:2 in; f=75.0 mm Uncoated
The LB4553 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 2 inches 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 region. This makes the LB4553 particularly suitable 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 67 mm, while for the second surface it is -67 mm. This bi-convex design helps to minimize spherical aberration, ensuring that the lens focuses light accurately. The lens has a central thickness of 12.5 mm and an edge thickness of 2.5 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The lens is designed to work at a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It 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.
