The KPX124AR.18 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, manufactured by MKS/Newport. This lens, with a diameter of 25.4 mm, is designed for use in the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1000 and 1550 nanometers.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 3.156 mm at the center. It has an effective focal length (EFL) of 1000 mm and a radius of curvature (R1) of 516.8 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 997.91 mm, and the inner radius is zero.
The KPX124AR.18 is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and relatively low cost. The lens features a new AR-18 coating on both the front and back surfaces, designed to reduce reflection and increase transmission in the infrared spectrum.
