Bi-Concave Lens, N-BK7, 6.35 mm Diameter, -12.5 mm EFL, 1000-1550nm

The KBC010AR.18 Bi-Concave Lens is a 1000 to 1550 nm anti-reflection coated, 6.35 mm diameter, N-BK7 Bi-concave lens with an effective focal length of -12.7 mm. It is designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optic applications. Newport's N-BK7 precision bi-concave lenses are manufactured from fine annealed optical glass and are polished to tight tolerances using master test plates to ensure minimum wavefront distortion.
