The LB4854-A is a high-quality bi-convex lens made from UV fused silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet range. This lens, with a diameter of 0.5 inches and a focal length of 20.0 mm, is designed for use in applications where high-precision focusing is required.
The lens features a spherical shape, with radii of curvature of 17.7 mm for the first surface and -17.7 mm for the second surface. This design results in a back focal length of 18.5 mm and an effective focal length of 20 mm. The lens has a central thickness of 4.2 mm and an edge thickness of 1.8 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LB4854-A is coated with Thorlabs' ARC coating, which is designed to enhance transmission in the 350-700 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving the overall efficiency of the optical system. The lens is available from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical components.
