The LD7503-E3 is a high-quality double-concave lens, boasting a 25.4 mm diameter and a center thickness of 2 mm. Manufactured by Thorlabs, this lens is designed for use with a wavelength of 10600 nm and is crafted from ZnSe (Zinc Selenide) material, specifically the ZnSe CONNOLLY variant. The lens features an effective focal length (EFL) of -50 mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
The LD7503-E3's concave-concave design is spherical, with radii of curvature R1 and R2 measured at -140.8 mm and 140.8 mm, respectively. The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a uniform curvature. The lens's coating, THo E3ZnSeARC7000120, is applied to both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance and durability.
This lens is a versatile optical component, ideal for use in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. Its double-concave design and high-quality construction make it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications. The lens's specifications, as detailed above, make it an excellent match for systems operating at 10.6 µm, such as CO2 lasers.
