Bi-Convex Lens, N-BK7, 12.7 mm Diameter, 62.9 mm EFL, 1000-1550nm

The KBX037AR.18 N-BK7 Bi-Convex Lens is a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter, 1000 to 1550 nm anti-reflection coated, N-BK7 bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 62.9 mm. It is designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optic applications. Newport's N-BK7 precision bi-convex lenses are manufactured from fine annealed optical glass and are polished to tight tolerances using master test plates to ensure minimum wavefront distortion.
