The 32-745 4.00 mm Dia. N-BK7 Ball Lenses Uncoated are precision optical components designed for a wide range of applications. These lenses are sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor known for its high-quality optical elements.
The lenses feature a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 4.00 mm. The geometry of the lens is defined by its inner radius, which is 0, and its outer radius, also 0. This specific design allows for a wide range of applications, particularly in situations where a compact, curved lens is required.
The material used in the construction of these lenses is N-BK7, a type of borosilicate glass manufactured by Schott. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high refractive index and low dispersion. The wavelength for these lenses is 587.6 nm, which is in the visible light spectrum.
Notably, these lenses are uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, uncoated lenses offer a more cost-effective solution. They are suitable for applications where such enhancements are not necessary.
