The KPX119AR.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 600 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical 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 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 311.232 mm, and the lens has a central thickness of 3.259 mm. The edge thickness of the lens is 3 mm. The back focal length (BFL) of the lens is 597.85 mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is 600 mm.
The lens is coated with New AR-16 fromfigure on both the front and back surfaces. This anti-reflection coating is designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the near-infrared (NIR) region, specifically between 650 nm and 1000 nm. This makes the lens ideal for applications that require high transmission in the NIR region, such as night vision, thermal imaging, and spectroscopy.
