This KBX058AR.16 lens, sourced from MKS/Newport, is a high-quality optical component designed for use in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 650 and 1000 nanometers. 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 25.4 millimeters and a center thickness of 5.102 millimeters, with an edge thickness of 3 millimeters. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 75.6 millimeters, making it suitable for applications that require moderate magnification. The first and second radii of curvature are 77.265 millimeters and -77.265 millimeters, respectively, while the back focal length (BFL) is 73.89 millimeters.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical components due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. It is coated with New AR-16, a broadband anti-reflective coating that enhances its performance in the NIR spectrum by reducing surface reflections.
This lens is available directly from the vendor and is currently in stock, making it an ideal choice for users seeking reliable and efficient optical components for their NIR applications.
