KBX031 12.7 mm Dia. x 38.1 mm FL; Uncoated; Double-Convex Lens

The KBX031 is a high-quality spherical lens, specifically designed for use in a wide range of optical applications. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport, boasts a 12.7 mm diameter and a focal length of 38.1 mm, making it a versatile choice for many setups.

The lens is made from n-BK7 Schott, a popular material in the optical industry due to its excellent optical properties and high homogeneity. This material is known for its low dispersion and high Abbe number, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, particularly where chromatic aberration correction is crucial.

The KBX031 features a double-convex design, with both surfaces of the lens curved outwards. This design is often used to increase the convergence of light rays, making it suitable for use as a focusing element in optical systems. The lens has a center thickness of 4.05 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm, providing robustness and durability.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surfaces. While coatings can be beneficial in reducing reflection and increasing transmission, an uncoated lens can be advantageous in certain applications where minimal interference with the light path is required.

This lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase, with more information available on the Newport website. With its high-quality construction, versatile specifications, and reliable performance, the KBX031 is a excellent choice for any optical system.
