The LF5048 is a spherical lens with a concave-convex base shape and a circular design, sourced from the reputable vendor Thorlabs. This lens boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a center thickness of 4 mm, with an edge thickness of 4.4 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is -500mm, making it a negative meniscus lens.
The lens is crafted from Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) with the material ID mal-1963. This material is well-suited for applications in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra, making the LF5048 a versatile choice for various optical systems. The lens is uncoated, which can be beneficial for specific applications where anti-reflection coatings may not be required or desirable.
The lens's inner and outer radii are both 0, and its back focal length (BFL) is -497.3 mm. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 218.3 mm, and the second radius of curvature (R2) is 105.1 mm. The wavelength for this lens is 4000 nm.
