The LC1582-B is a plano-concave lens with a diameter of 1 inch, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This lens is made from N-BK7, a popular optical glass from Schott, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens features a focal length of -75mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where a diverging lens is required.
The lens geometry includes a thickness of 5.6mm at the edge and 3.5mm at the center, providing a robust structure while maintaining a sleek profile. The effective focal length (EFL) is -75mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is -38.6mm, contributing to the lens's diverging properties. The back focal length (BFL) is -77.3mm, which is the distance from the lens's rear surface to its focal point.
The LC1582-B is coated with Thorlabs' BBAR coating (Broadband Anti-Reflection Coating) on both the front and back surfaces, specifically designed for the 650-1050nm wavelength range. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system efficiency.
