The KPX010AR.16 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 6.35 mm and a focal length of 6.4 mm, making it a compact yet powerful optical component. The lens is fabricated from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens geometry is meticulously designed, with a thickness at the edge of 3 mm and a center thickness of 5.381 mm. The inner radius is zero, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The radius of curvature (R1) is 3.308 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 2.85 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is equal to the focal length, at 6.4 mm.
The KPX010AR.16 lens features a New AR-16 coating on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is specifically designed for the near-infrared (NIR) region, covering the wavelength range of 650-1000 nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission and improving overall system efficiency.
