43-639 1.00 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 43-639 is a 1.00 mm diameter ball lens, featuring a ruby doped sapphire material, and is uncoated. This lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry. The lens is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase, as indicated by its weblink status.

As a ball lens, it boasts a circular base shape, with a geometry defined by its diameter. The lens has no inner or outer radius, as the entire surface is uniformly curved. This design is particularly useful in applications where a uniform, spherical light distribution is required.

The lens is made from al2o3 mal-1972-n-o, a specific type of sapphire known for its durability and excellent optical properties. Sapphire is a highly transparent material, making it ideal for use in a wide range of wavelengths. In this case, the lens is designed for use with a wavelength of 587.6 nm.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a specific coating is not required, or where the user prefers to apply their own coating.
