KPX184-C 50.8 mm Dia. x 88.3 mm FL; MgF2 Coated; Plano-Convex Lens MgF2 400-700nm
The KPX184-C is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens, with a base shape of a circle, is designed for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically optimized for the wavelength of 589nm.
The lens has a diameter of 50.8mm and a thickness at the edge of 3mm. The center thickness is 10.722mm, providing a robust structure for various applications. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) of the lens is 88.3mm, making it suitable for systems that require a longer focal length.
The KPX184-C is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The lens's front and back surfaces are coated with MgF2, a broadband anti-reflection coating that enhances transmission in the 400-700nm range. This coating reduces surface reflections, improving the overall efficiency and quality of the optical system.
The lens's inner radius is zero, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. This design is often used in optical systems to focus or collimate light. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 45.633mm on the curved surface.
