The KPX079AR.14 is a high-quality Plano-Convex lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, is designed for use in the visible spectrum, specifically optimized for wavelengths around 589 nm.
The lens geometry is characterized by its base shape, which is circular, and its thickness. The edge thickness is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 7.643 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 38.1 mm, making it suitable for a variety of optical applications. The lens's front radius of curvature (R1) is 19.69 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 33.06 mm.
The KPX079AR.14 lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. This lens features anti-reflective (AR) coatings on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the new AR-14 coating. This coating is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 430-700 nm, providing improved transmission and reduced reflection.
