The LB4700-C is a high-quality UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens boasts a diameter of 0.5 inches and a focal length of 40.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The lens is designed with a Spherical geometry, featuring a front radius (r1) of 36.3 mm and a back radius (r2) of -36.3 mm. This Bi-Convex design allows for excellent light transmission and focus, making it ideal for imaging and beam shaping applications. The lens has a center thickness of 2.9 mm and an edge thickness of 1.8 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LB4700-C is fabricated from UV Fused Silica, a material known for its high transparency across a wide spectral range, from 190 nm to 2100 nm. This makes the lens suitable for use in UV, visible, and near-IR applications. The lens is coated with a broadband anti-reflection coating (ARC), specifically designed for the 1050-1700 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, enhancing the lens's transmission and overall performance.
In terms of shape, the lens is circular, allowing for 360-degree illumination and observation. The lens is in stock and ready for immediate shipping, as indicated by its valid weblink status. This ensures quick delivery, allowing users to integrate the lens into their optical systems promptly.
