The KBX151AR.18 is a high-quality double-convex lens, designed and manufactured by MKS/Newport, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens, with a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 88.3 mm, is specifically engineered for use in the infrared spectrum, between 1000nm and 1550nm.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a spherical geometry, with a center thickness of 10.362 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 88.3 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 84.81 mm.
The KBX151AR.18 is coated with New AR-18, a broadband anti-reflective coating that enhances its performance in the infrared spectrum. This coating is applied to both the front and back surfaces of the lens, reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.
This lens is a great choice for applications that require high-quality, broadband infrared transmission, such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and other infrared-based technologies. It is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase, as indicated by its valid weblink status.
