KPX367-C 15.0 mm Dia. x 50 mm FL; MgF2 Coated; Plano-Convex Lens MgF2 400-700nm
The KPX367-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 589 nm.
The lens has a diameter of 15.0 mm and a thickness at the edge of 2.0 mm. The center thickness is slightly more, measuring 3.1 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 50 mm, making it suitable for a variety of optical applications.
The KPX367-C features an inner radius of 0 mm, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The curvature of the lens is defined by a radius of 25.936 mm on the curved surface. The back focal length (BFL) of this lens is 48 mm.
This lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range. The lens is coated with MgF2, a broadband antireflection coating, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the lens's performance in the 400-700 nm range, reducing surface reflections and improving transmission.
