43-645 3.00 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 43-645 is a 3.00 mm diameter ball lens, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasting a ruby doped sapphire composition. This lens is characterized by its base shape of a perfect circle, ensuring uniform light distribution. The lens's geometry is defined by its inner radius and outer radius, both of which are zero, indicating a solid spherical shape.

The lens is made of aluminum oxide (al2o3), also known as sapphire, a highly durable and transparent material. The ruby doping, a process involving the addition of chromium oxide, gives the lens its distinctive red color and enhances its optical properties. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Notably, this lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties or protect it from environmental factors. This may affect its performance in certain applications, particularly those requiring high light transmission or resistance to environmental conditions.
