The PAC10AR.15 is a high-quality achromatic doublet lens from MKS/Newport, designed for use in the UV-VIS spectrum, specifically between 345 and 700nm. This lens, with a catalog number PAC10AR.15, is a multiplet type, featuring a base shape that is circular.
The lens has a diameter of 12.5mm and a thickness at the edge of 4.99mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a symmetrical design. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 25mm, making it suitable for a variety of optical applications.
The lens is composed of two types of glass, N-FK5 and N-F2, both from Schott. This combination helps to correct chromatic aberration, a common issue in optical systems. The lens features new AR-15 coatings on both the front and back surfaces, which help to reduce reflection and increase transmission.
The geometry of the lens is also noteworthy. The first surface has a radius of curvature (R) of 15.08mm, while the second surface has an R of -11.48mm. The third surface has an R of -30.1mm. The thickness at the center of the first and second surfaces is 5mm and 2mm, respectively, resulting in a total center thickness of 7mm.
