The SPX013AR.16 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a 12.7 mm diameter and a 25.4 mm focal length, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is fabricated from UVFS MAL-1965, a material with excellent optical properties.
The lens features a New AR-16 coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, specifically between 650nm and 1000nm. This coating reduces surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and minimizing losses.
The lens's geometry is well-defined, with a 3mm edge thickness and a 4.881mm center thickness. The inner radius is zero, indicating a plano surface on the opposite side of the convex surface. The effective focal length (EFL) is 25.4mm, and the radius of curvature (R1) is 11.659mm. The back focal length (BFL) is 22.05mm.
The SPX013AR.16 is available from the vendor's website, and the link provided indicates that it is currently in stock. This lens is an excellent choice for applications that require a high-quality, NIR-optimized Plano-Convex lens.
