The LB4743 UV Fused Silica Bi-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs. This lens, with a diameter of 5 mm, is designed for use in a variety of applications that require precise optical control. The lens features a focal length of 10.0 mm, making it suitable for systems where a longer focal length is required.
The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency across a wide range of wavelengths. This makes the LB4743 particularly suitable for applications in the ultraviolet spectrum. 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 lens geometry includes a thickness of 1.5 mm at the edge and 3.6 mm at the center. The radii of curvature for the two surfaces are 8.8 mm and -8.8 mm, respectively, resulting in a back focal length of 9.2 mm. The lens has no inner or outer radius, indicating a uniform thickness across the lens.
