The KPX196AR.18 is a Plano-Convex Lens, a type of spherical lens, with a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 175 mm. This lens is sourced from MKS/Newport, a renowned vendor in the optical industry. The lens is designed for use within the infrared spectrum, specifically between 1000nm and 1550nm, making it suitable for a range of applications that require infrared transmission.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The front and back surfaces of the lens are coated with New AR-18, a broadband anti-reflective coating that enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections and increasing transmission.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 6.64 mm at the center. The inner radius is 0, indicating a plano surface on the other side of the lens. The effective focal length (EFL) is 175 mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 90.44 mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 170.62 mm.
