This is a high-quality double-convex lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, MKS/Newport. The lens, identified as KBX079AR.18, is designed for use within the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1000nm and 1550nm, making it ideal for a range of applications within this wavelength range.
The lens boasts a diameter of 25.4mm and a focal length of 250mm, providing a substantial depth of field and a wide field of view. The double-convex design, characterized by its two convex surfaces, offers excellent focusing capabilities and minimal spherical aberration. The lens has a center thickness of 3.626mm and an edge thickness of 3mm, ensuring robustness and durability.
The KBX079AR.18 lens is fabricated from N-BK7 Schott glass, a material well-known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and low dispersion. This makes the lens suitable for use in high-precision optical systems.
The lens features a New AR-18 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflective coating is specifically designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission within the infrared spectrum, further enhancing the lens's performance in its intended application range.
