The KBX082AR.16 is a high-quality double-convex lens, designed and manufactured by MKS/Newport, a leading vendor in the optical industry. This lens boasts a diameter of 25.4 mm and a focal length of 500 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens is made from N-BK7 Schott, a popular optical glass due to its excellent optical properties and versatility. The base shape of the lens is circular, and it features a spherical geometry with a center thickness of 3.313 mm and an edge thickness of 3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) is 500 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 498.9 mm. The radii of curvature for the first and second surfaces are 516.245 mm and -516.245 mm, respectively.
The KBX082AR.16 is coated with New AR-16, a broadband anti-reflection coating designed for the near-infrared (NIR) region, specifically for wavelengths between 650 nm and 1000 nm. This coating significantly reduces surface reflections, enhancing the overall transmission of the lens.
This lens is an excellent choice for applications that require high-quality imaging, beam shaping, or light collimation in the NIR region. Its robust design, coupled with its superior optical properties, makes it a reliable and efficient component for various optical systems.
