This KBX019AR.16 lens, sourced from MKS/Newport, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 650 and 1000nm. It is a spherical lens, featuring a double-convex geometry, which is known for its ability to focus light efficiently.
The lens has a diameter of 6.35mm and a focal length of 25.4mm, making it a compact yet powerful option for various applications. The edge thickness is 3mm, while the center thickness is slightly greater at 3.39mm, indicating a robust design. The effective focal length (EFL) is the same as the focal length, at 25.4mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 24.25mm.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular material in optical systems due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and accuracy.
The lens features a New AR-16 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflective coating is specifically designed for the near-infrared spectrum, reducing surface reflections and improving transmission. The coating ensures optimal performance in the intended wavelength range.
