The KPX510 is a 6.35 mm diameter, plano-convex lens with a focal length of 6.4 mm, sourced from the renowned optical components manufacturer, MKS/Newport. This uncoated lens is made of N-BK7 Schott, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The lens geometry is characterized by a 3.3 mm radius of curvature (ROC) for the convex surface, resulting in a 2.85 mm back focal length (BFL). The edge thickness is 3 mm, while the center thickness is 5.38 mm, providing a robust structure suitable for various applications. The lens has a planar front surface, ensuring minimal distortion and high image quality.
The KPX510 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible spectrum. Its spherical shape allows for efficient light collimation and focusing, making it an excellent choice for imaging systems, beam shaping, and other optical applications.
Please note that this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any anti-reflective or protective coatings. While this may result in lower transmission and increased susceptibility to environmental factors, it also ensures a broader spectral range and reduced cost compared to coated alternatives.
