The LD1357-A is a high-quality bi-concave lens offered by Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens, crafted from the renowned N-BK7 glass by Schott, is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The lens features a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 12.7 mm. It has a center thickness of 3.5 mm and an edge thickness of 4.3 mm, providing a robust structure while maintaining a compact form. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is -50 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is -51 mm, indicating its concave-concave geometry.
The LD1357-A is coated with ARC 350-700nm on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating enhances transmission in the 350-700 nm range, reducing unwanted reflections and improving overall system performance.
This lens is an excellent choice for applications that require a concave-concave lens with a high-quality Schott N-BK7 glass and anti-reflection coating in the visible spectrum.
