The LB5864-E is a high-quality spherical lens from Thorlabs, featuring a double-convex design with a calcium fluoride (CaF2) core. This lens is designed for use in the 2-5 µm wavelength range, making it suitable for a variety of infrared applications. The lens has a diameter of 12.7 mm and an effective focal length (EFL) of 40 mm, providing a compact yet powerful optical solution.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 2 mm at the edge and 3.2 mm at the center, with a radii of curvature of 34.2 mm for both the front and back surfaces. This design results in a spherical shape that provides excellent image quality and low distortion. The lens is uncoated, but it can be ordered with anti-reflection coatings upon request.
The LB5864-E is available from Thorlabs and is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website. The lens is part of a wide range of optical components offered by Thorlabs, a leading manufacturer of precision photonics equipment.
