A110-A In Stock

The A110-A by ThorLabs is an unmounted aspheric lens that is designed to offer exceptional performance in focusing or collimating light without introducing spherical aberration into the transmitted wavefront. The A110-A ensures diffraction-limited performance and offers a superior solution to traditional spherical lenses that often fail to achieve optimal performance. This lens is specifically crafted to mitigate the impacts of spherical aberration and offers a single element solution that is perfect for a wide range of applications like light coupling into a fiber, image light into a detector, collimate a laser diode or fiber output, or spatial filtering.

One of the key features of the A110-A is its antireflection coating, which is deposited on both sides of the lens and covers the 350-700 nm range. This coating significantly reduces any unwanted reflections, ensuring that the lens delivers optimal performance in all lighting conditions. When using the A110-A to collimate light from a point source or laser diode, it's essential to ensure that the side with the greater radius of curvature (i.e., the flatter surface) faces the source. This orientation ensures that the lens delivers optimal performance and collimates the light with maximum efficiency. To collimate light using one of our mounted aspheric lenses, simply orient the housing so that the externally threaded end of the mount faces the source.
