The KPX117AR.16 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 450 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 233.424 mm, and the back focal length is 447.8 mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 3.346 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 450 mm.
The KPX117AR.16 is coated with New AR-16, a coating specifically designed for the infrared spectrum, covering wavelengths from 650 to 1000 nm. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the infrared region, making it ideal for applications such as thermal imaging, night vision, and other infrared-based technologies.
