The KPX193 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens with a single curved surface and a flat surface. This lens, sourced from MKS/Newport, boasts a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 150 mm. The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties.
The lens's geometry is meticulously designed. The edge thickness is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 7.279 mm. The radius of curvature (R1) is 77.52 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 145.2 mm. The lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The KPX193 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 589 nm. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, thanks to its simple design and high-quality materials. However, its uncoated nature means it may not perform optimally in environments with high light intensity or where minimal reflection is required.
