The KPX184AR.16 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, sourced from MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 88.3 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 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 in the NIR region.
The lens has a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 10.722 mm at the center. The inner radius is 0 mm, indicating a plano surface on the other side of the lens. The back focal length (BFL) is 81.23 mm, and the effective focal length (EFL) is the same as the focal length, at 88.3 mm.
This lens is available for purchase from the MKS/Newport website, and the link provided indicates that it is currently in stock. With its high-quality materials, advanced coating, and precise specifications, the KPX184AR.16 is a reliable choice for various optical systems operating in the near-infrared spectrum.
