The KBC046AR.16 is a high-quality double-concave lens, designed with a base shape of a circle and a diameter of 25.4 mm. This lens is sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport, ensuring reliability and precision. The lens features a significant double-concave geometry, with a center thickness of 2.5 mm and an edge thickness of 7.74 mm, providing a focal length of -25 mm. The back focal length is measured at -25.81 mm, offering a well-balanced optical design.
The lens is constructed from N-BK7 Schott material, a popular choice for its excellent optical properties and versatility. The material's index of refraction is optimized for a wavelength of 589 nm. The KBC046AR.16 is coated with a new AR-16 coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance in the near-infrared region (650-1000 nm). This coating reduces surface reflections, improving transmission and overall system efficiency.
