The KPX181-C is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 75.6 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is fabricated from n-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The KPX181-C features a plano-convex geometry, meaning one side of the lens is flat (plano), while the other side is curved (convex). This design allows for efficient light convergence, making it ideal for use as a focusing element in various optical systems. The lens has a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 12.383 mm at the center, providing robustness and durability.
The lens is coated with MgF2, a broadband anti-reflection coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby increasing transmission in the spectral range of 400-700 nm. The coating also provides excellent environmental stability, making the lens suitable for use in various environments.
