Ball Lenses are commonly used to improve signal quality in fiber coupling applications, or for use in endoscopy or bar code scanning applications. Ball Lenses feature short back focal lengths to minimize the distance needed from the Ball Lens to the optical fiber.
Ball lens with diameter as small as 0.5mm is available from West Coast Tech.
Applications:
- Flexible endoscopes
- Small camera
Specifications
| Material: | Optical glass, fused silica, sapphire, ruby... |
| Diameter: | 0.5 - 5 ±0.003mm |
| Sphericity: | ≤ 0.001mm |
| Surface quality: | 20-10 scratch and dig |
| Transmission: | > 92% |
| Coating: | With or without AR coating |
