Bi-Concave Lens, N-BK7, 25.4 mm Diameter, -100 mm EFL, 430-700nm

The KBC037AR.14 Bi-Concave Lens is a 430 to 700 nm anti-reflection coated, 25.4 mm diameter, N-BK7 Bi-concave lens with an effective focal length of -100 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.
