The KBX046AR.16 is a high-quality double-convex lens, designed for use in the near-infrared spectrum, specifically between 650 and 1000nm. This lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport, is a spherical lens with a base shape of a circle, making it a versatile choice for various optical applications.
The lens boasts a diameter of 25.4mm, with a thickness at the edge of 3mm and a center thickness of 10.132mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 25.4mm, and the first radius of curvature (R1) is 24.397mm, while the second radius of curvature (R2) is -24.397mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 21.8mm, and both the inner and outer radii are 0mm.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The lens features a New AR-16 coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the near-infrared region.
