The KBC040 is a high-quality spherical lens, specifically designed for use in optical systems that require concave-concave lenses. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport, boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of -75 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high damage threshold. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a double-concave geometry, with radii of curvature R1 and R2 at -77.943 mm and 77.943 mm respectively. This geometry results in a back focal length (BFL) of -75.82 mm.
The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. While this may result in higher reflective losses, it also means that the lens is more cost-effective and versatile, as it can be used in a wider range of wavelengths without the risk of coating damage.
The lens has a thickness of 4.19 mm at the edge and 2.5 mm at the center. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a uniform curvature throughout the lens.
