The KPX118AR.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 500 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 relatively low cost.
The 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) spectrum, covering wavelengths from 650 to 1000 nm. The coating significantly reduces surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and enhancing the overall performance of the lens.
The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 3.312 mm at the center. The inner radius is 0 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 258.4 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 497.81 mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 500 mm.
The lens is available for purchase directly from the vendor's website, and the link provided indicates that it is currently in stock. This makes the KPX118AR.16 an accessible option for those in need of a high-quality, NIR-optimized Plano-Convex lens.
