LA1433-AB In Stock

The LA1433-AB by ThorLabs is a plano-convex lens that boasts a diameter of Ø1" and is expertly crafted from N-BK7 glass that is RoHS-compliant. The LA1433-AB features an antireflection (AR) coating that optimizes its performance in the 400 nm - 1100 nm range. The N-BK7 coating is the ideal choice for applications that require the benefits of UV fused silica, such as a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and good transmission into the UV range.

The LA1433-AB is also built with a positive focal length of 150 mm and boasts a near-best-form shape, making it perfect for conjugate applications in the finite and infinite regions. This lens is a versatile optical component that can collimate light from a point source or focus a collimated beam. To ensure minimal spherical aberration, it is recommended that the curved surface of the lens have a collimated light source that is incident during focusing, while a point light source should be incident on the planar surface when being collimated. The LA1433-AB's AR coating is a standout feature that decreases the amount of reflected light from each lens surface. The coating is also ideal for applications that use multiple optical elements.
