The KPX016AR.18 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from MKS/Newport. It is designed for use within the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1000 and 1550 nanometers. The lens has a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 6.35 millimeters. The edge thickness of the lens is 3 millimeters, while the center thickness is 3.527 millimeters.
The lens has an effective focal length (EFL) of 19 millimeters, which is the distance over which the lens will focus a parallel beam of light to a spot. The first radius of curvature (R1) is 9.819 millimeters, and the back focal length (BFL) is 16.67 millimeters. The inner radius of the lens is zero, indicating a flat surface on the side opposite the curved face.
The KPX016AR.18 lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a type of glass commonly used in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties. The lens features AR-18 coating on both the front and back surfaces, which is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the infrared spectrum.
