The SPX043AR.14 is a Plano-Convex Spherical Lens, sourced from the reputable vendor MKS/Newport. This lens boasts a diameter of 50.8 mm and a focal length of 100 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The lens is fabricated from UVFS Mal-1965, a material known for its optical clarity and durability.
The lens features a New AR-14 coating on both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance in the 430-700 nm wavelength range. This anti-reflective coating reduces surface reflections, thereby improving transmission and minimizing losses. The coating also provides excellent environmental stability, ensuring the lens maintains its performance characteristics over time.
The lens geometry includes a 3 mm thick edge and a 10.668 mm thick center, contributing to its robustness and longevity. The inner radius is 0, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. The radius of curvature (r1) is 45.9 mm, and the back focal length (bfl) is 92.68 mm. The effective focal length (efl) is 100 mm, which is the distance from the lens's principal plane to the focal point.
