The LC4573-UV is a plano-concave lens with a 6 mm diameter, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, Thorlabs. This lens is specifically designed for use with ultraviolet light, with a wavelength of 588 nm, and features a UVFS material ID (mal-1965) that ensures optimal performance in UV applications.
The lens boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of -10 mm, making it a powerful tool for focusing and diverging light in various optical systems. The plano-concave geometry, characterized by a flat front surface and a curved back surface with a radius of -4.6 mm, contributes to its unique optical properties.
The LC4573-UV is equipped with a UV-optimized broadband anti-reflection (BBAR) coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, denoted as 'tho uvfs uv bbar', enhances the lens's transmission capabilities across the UV spectrum, minimizing losses due to surface reflections.
This lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase through the Thorlabs website, as indicated by its 'Valid - in stock' weblink status. With its robust design, UV-optimized performance, and high-quality construction, the LC4573-UV is an excellent choice for a wide range of UV optical applications.
