KPX046 12.7 mm Dia. x 38.1 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The KPX046 is a Plano-Convex lens with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a focal length of 38.1 mm. This lens is sourced from MKS/Newport, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular material known for its excellent optical properties.
The lens's geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its thickness. The edge thickness is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 4.052 mm. The lens's effective focal length (EFL) is 38.1 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 19.69 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 35.42 mm, and the inner radius is 0 mm.
This lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any anti-reflective or other coatings. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the lens material are desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can suffer from reflective losses, which can impact the overall performance of the optical system.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 589 nm. It's shape is spherical, which is a common geometry for lenses due to its ease of manufacturing and good optical performance.
