The APAC18 is a high-performance lens from MKS/Newport, designed for use in the 425-675nm wavelength range. This lens boasts an effective focal length (EFL) of 50mm and features a compact 25 mm diameter. The lens is constructed as an achromatic doublet, utilizing S-FSL5 and S-TIH13 materials from Ohara to effectively minimize chromatic aberration.
The lens geometry is characterized by a 7.52mm edge thickness, a 9mm center thickness for the first element, and a 2.5mm center thickness for the second element, resulting in an overall center thickness of 11.5mm. The lens features aspherical surfaces with radii of curvature of 28.5mm and -31mm for the first element, and -66mm for the second element. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a circular lens profile.
The APAC18 lens is coated with New Vis-0 on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its transmission characteristics and overall optical performance. This lens is a multiplet, meaning it consists of multiple elements, which allows for more complex optical designs and superior performance compared to single element lenses.
