The 43-643 is a 2.00 mm diameter ball lens, precision crafted from ruby doped sapphire, available from Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a refined design, optimized for use in the visible light spectrum, specifically at a wavelength of 587.6 nm.
The ball lens geometry, characterized by its circular cross-section and symmetrical curvature, provides a uniform optical path, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. The lens's base shape, coupled with its 2.00 mm diameter, ensures excellent light gathering capabilities and minimal optical aberrations.
Notably, this lens is uncoated, offering users the advantage of raw optical transmission without the interference of anti-reflective coatings. However, this may result in increased reflection at the air-lens interface, which should be taken into consideration when designing optical systems.
The lens is sourced from Edmund Optics, a reputable vendor known for its high-quality optical components. The item data indicates that the lens is currently in stock, ensuring prompt delivery and minimal lead times.
