LC1060-A N-BK7 Plano-Concave Lens; Dia:0.5 in; f=-30.0 mm ARC 350-700nm

The LC1060-A is a plano-concave lens made from N-BK7 glass, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties. This lens, sourced from Thorlabs, features a diameter of 0.5 inches and a focal length of -30.0 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 4.4 mm and a thickness center of 3 mm, with an effective focal length (EFL) of -30 mm. The concave surface has a radius of curvature (R1) of -15.4 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is -32 mm. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a flat surface on the opposite side of the concave surface.

The lens is coated with ARC 350-700nm, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 350-700 nm range. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens.

The LC1060-A is a spherical lens, a common type of lens used in various optical systems. The lens's material, N-BK7, is a borosilicate crown glass known for its low dispersion and high transmission in the visible spectrum. This makes the LC1060-A an excellent choice for applications requiring high-quality imaging or light transmission.
