Thorlabs LA8023-E Plano-Convex Lens

Product Description:
The Thorlabs LA8023-E is a high-quality plano-convex lens with a 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter and a focal length of 500.0 mm. It is fabricated from silicon (Si), making it ideal for infrared applications. The lens features an E-coated (AR-coated) surface optimized for the 2 – 5 µm wavelength range, providing excellent transmission and minimizing reflection losses in mid-IR systems.

Typical applications include IR imaging, beam shaping, focusing, and collimation in research, laboratory, and industrial optical setups. Thorlabs precision-engineered plano-convex lenses are well-suited for collimating point sources or focusing collimated beams.
