The LB4972-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 2 inches and a focal length of 250.0 mm, is designed for use in applications where high-precision optics are required.
The lens features a spherical shape, with both surfaces curved to focus light. The first surface has a radius of curvature of 229.1 mm, while the second surface has a radius of -229.1 mm. This design results in an effective focal length (EFL) of 250.0 mm and a back focal length (BFL) of 248 mm. The lens has a center thickness of 5.8 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LB4972-A is coated with Thorlabs' Anti-Reflection Coating (ARC), designed for the 350-700 nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving light transmission through the lens. The coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens.
