The SPC010AR.16 is a Plano-Concave Spherical Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 6.35 mm and a focal length of -12.5 mm, making it ideal for applications that require a negative focal length. The lens's base shape is circular, and it features a planar front surface and a concave rear surface.
The lens's geometry includes a thickness edge of 3.26 mm and a thickness center of 2.5 mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a uniform curvature across the lens's surfaces. The back focal length (BFL) is -14.21 mm, which is a critical specification for determining the lens's performance in a specific optical system.
The lens is constructed from UVFS material with the ID 1965. This material is well-suited for applications in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 650 and 1000 nm, as indicated by the wavelength parameter.
The lens's surfaces are coated with the new AR-16 coating on both the front and back. This anti-reflective coating enhances the lens's performance by reducing surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and reducing ghosting and flare.
