KBX022AR.16 12.7 mm Dia. x 12.7 mm FL; NIR coated; Double-Convex Lens NIR 650-1000nm

The KBX022AR.16 is a high-quality double-convex lens, designed and manufactured by MKS/Newport, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens is characterized by its 12.7 mm diameter and a focal length of 12.7 mm, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and high Abbe number. This material ensures high transmittance and low dispersion, making it ideal for applications that require high image quality and precision.

The KBX022AR.16 features a double-convex geometry, with radii of curvature of 11.868 mm for the first surface and -11.868 mm for the second surface. This geometry provides a large numerical aperture, enhancing the lens's light-gathering capability and improving its performance in high-resolution applications.

The lens is coated with New AR-16 fromfigure on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is specifically designed for the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, covering the wavelength range of 650-1000 nm. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, improving the lens's transmittance and enhancing its overall performance in NIR applications.

The lens has a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 6.68 mm at the center, providing robustness and durability. The inner and outer radii are both 0 mm, indicating a circular shape that ensures uniform light distribution and reduces vignetting.
