The KPC022 is a Plano-Concave Lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a focal length of -50 mm, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens is designed for use in optical systems that require a negative focal length, making it suitable for applications such as beam expansion, collimation, and reduction.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transmission range. It has a planar front surface and a concave back surface, with a central thickness of 2.5 mm and an edge thickness of 3.14 mm. The lens's design ensures minimal spherical aberration, delivering high-quality, distortion-free images.
The KPC022 is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. While this may result in a lower transmission rate and increased susceptibility to environmental factors, it also means the lens is more cost-effective and suitable for applications where such considerations are not critical.
This lens is ideal for use in various applications, including but not limited to, spectroscopy, interferometry, beam shaping, and optical instrumentation. With its robust design and high-quality materials, the KPC022 ensures reliable performance and longevity, making it a valuable addition to any optical system.
