KBX046 25.4 mm Dia. x 25.4 mm FL; Uncoated; Double-Convex Lens

The KBX046 is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a base shape of a circle and is designed for use in spherical optical systems. The lens is uncoated, providing a cost-effective solution for applications where coating is not a necessity.

The lens has a diameter of 25.4 mm and a center thickness of 10.132 mm, ensuring a substantial optical path for light to pass through. The edge thickness is 3 mm, providing robustness and durability. The effective focal length (EFL) of the lens is 25.4 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring a short focal length.

The KBX046 is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 24.397 mm, and the second radius of curvature (R2) is -24.397 mm, indicating a double-convex design. The back focal length (BFL) is 21.8 mm.

This lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 589 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. The lens is compatible with various optical systems and can be used in a wide range of applications, from imaging to laser systems.
